World History

History:

History is more than the record of man's conflict with nature and himself.  It is the knowledge which gives dimension to the present, direction to the future, and humility to the leaders of men.  A nation like a person, not conscious of its own past is adrift without purpose or protection against the contending forces of dissolution.

- Lyndon B. Johnson Proclamation establishing  22 Nov., 1964, the first anniversary of the death of John F. Kennedy, as "a day of national rededication."
