History Textbook Reform

Famous quotes containing the words history and/or reform:

    History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.... It is not “history” which uses men as a means of achieving—as if it were an individual person—its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.
    Karl Marx (1818–1883)

    No advance in wealth, no softening of manners, no reform or revolution has ever brought human equality a millimetre nearer.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)
