Not forgotten
Star Tribune: "How do you teach today's young people about something that seems remote to them but was central to the lives of their parents? A new civil-rights play at Children's Theatre Company seeks relevance 43 years later."

This begs the question, what will the next generation miss. Really... the answer is... nothing. With the media and the internet nothing slips by these kids. How many 9/11 movies are there? It is a little strange to think about our history slipping away. A perfect example is when I lived in Estonia, I was unaware of the effects of the Nazi's had on them, because the education I had in history focused on Poland and the south eastern part of WWII. I was way off base with what happened to kids my age in Estonia and how their families had to struggle while living under SSR control. The point is schools can't teach every thing. I'm happy to see that a major historcial event as been placed in a theater and not just in the out dated text books of the school systems.
piggybacking on what julie said having so much media and internet and tv can contribute even more to the bias view of history kids get today, because they dont get the full storys they get hollywoods version.
