“We must learn from history or be doomed to repeat it.”

“History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.”   

Maya Angelou

“One cannot and must not try to erase the past merely because it does not fit the present.”

Golda Meir

I love history and I love teaching history—and I’m good at it.  In today’s climate it is more important than ever that we, the people, with whom our country is entrusted, understand who we are as a nation and why.  Because hundreds of people have asked me to, I will be offering a survey course over the next none months on the Fundamentals of United States History and I would love for you to be a part of this endeavor.

Every week or so, with occasional breaks for holidays, etc.—I will present a 50—60-minute online lecture on a specific era or topic, per the syllabus below.  The series will be my subscription only.  The fee is per household, not person.  Each household will have a password that will grant access to each posted lecture.  There will also be access to a discussion board where questions and reactions can be posted, as long as they are civil and genuine—and the administrator of the message board will be the sole judge in case of mean-spirited or inappropriate comments.

The course will be divided into five units, again, as indicated by the syllabus below.  The cost per household for each unit is $25, or $100 for the entire course upfront.

If you have questions, please reply to this e-mail.  You may register online using any credit card at www.darrellhuckaby.net   or you can mail a check for $25 for Unit 1 or $100 for the course to Darrell Huckaby, 2755 Ebenezer Rd, Conyers, GA 30094.

Please be sure to include your e-mail address and you will receive instructions, via e-mail, with instructions to access the course.

I hope you will join me for this important journey through American history.

It will be fun, informative and entertaining.   What more could you want for a buck a lesson?

And remember, sometimes you just have to say, What the Huck!

God bless America…
