In 1955 in my HS American history class our teacher brought in just one paragraph that changed my life, woke me up and made me a critical thinker. We were studying the 1848 war with Mexico and she read to us a paragraph from a Mexican history book giving their side of that war. Suddenly and forever I knew that there are more than one side to a story, to look for who is writing that history and for whom. I was 16 and forever changed.
