Did You Know?

These are just two facts that are relevant to today’s history. Knowing the history of yourself as well as others is very important. We should know and understand what the people before us endured and how things came about. In order for us to be able to live the way we live we must acknowledge the people who paved the road. You may find it interesting to see what happened today many years ago in history. If you are interested in knowing more I encourage you to look it up educate yourself.
