Until recently, history has been taught from the limited perspective of a few prominent individuals. These mostly white, male narratives obscure how real social change occurs for most people in society. Yet including these overlooked narratives makes the process of writing history far more challenging. We welcome award winning author, Rebecca Boggs Roberts, to contribute her perspective and insight on addressing these challenges.
