I started a new blog last night called “Hearts of the
Children.” It presents fun ways to teach
kids about their ancestors. Some of the
quotes I am posting on the Blog summarize my feelings exactly. Here they are:
"People will not look forward to posterity who never look backward to their ancestors." -- Edmund Burke
"When a society or a civilization perishes, one condition can always be found. They forgot where they came from." -- Carle Sandburg
"In all of us there is a hunger, marrow deep, to know our heritage - to know who we are and where we came from. Without this enriching knowledge, there is a hollow yearning. No matter what our attainments in life, there is still a vacuum, an emptiness, and the most disquieting loneliness." -- Alex Haley, Roots
“I feel that teaching kids where they come from is key in our efforts to teach them who they are and keep them faithful.”—Marci J
