Uncover The Story!
Changed History values
History has been changed, in a different way, but it’s because there have been false facts and information, but this isn’t bad. History has been set up like this to give the white man peace of mind.”White people in general appear lost in this story(Martha S.Jones). “Missing information/wrongful depiction adds an extra layer to history. Without it, our Black history, etc, wouldn’t have been recognized and established. You have to make the information white man-approved, but later, people such as public historians are the ones who add to the history and uncover the story to the fullest.

Mount Vernon was a plantation, but now it is a historic place.

Language can change, move a persons viewpoint on history.In a reading by Casper he mentions Mount Vernon and other stories of enslaved people. The reading was speaking about how Mount Vernon was a plantation, but now, due to the setup, it’s a historical mark. Also, Savanna Williams was brought up, but the stories about her were told in a way that you could feel her pain. Language portrays history in different lights, and that’s why the impact on history is big. If you preserve something as sad/inhuman, you’ll respond and show some type of emotion. This will cause you to continue to think about that situation, and it will stick with you.
