People Need to Know
«Robert M. Lucas tells the story of a community that would like to forget its past and a teacher and a group of students who won’t let it. This inspiring tale shows the enduring relevance of the past and why facing it, heart wrenching as it is, can signal the beginning of healing.» (Sam Wineburg, Margaret Jacks Professor of Education and of History, Stanford University)

His rendering of his own and the students’ efforts in coming to terms with the tragic, erased history of racial injustice in their community reflects aspects of our best hopes for education and this nation.»
