#####Does this sound at all like us today?
Watching our Lilliputians tearing down statues and monuments, renaming buildings and streets, rewriting history books#####
Unfortunately, another dead Canary in the coal mine is Colonial Williamsburg. When I was growing up and later raising a family, Williamsburg was a “must visit” for children and visitors. Now, it is suffering financially (declining attendance) because most adults don’t know or don’t care about our rich heritage anymore. Very sad state of affairs.

Remember visiting around the bicentennial. What an exciting time for a 14 year old kid. That and going to countless “military musters” in the area all the time and learning about the nation’s history.
Visiting Gettysburg and even the nation’s capitol.
I learned on my own because even then we were not being taught it in high school.
I feel sorry for the young of today not connecting with history.
It is because that heritage isn’t theirs. When you are taught that the colonials were evil white men enslaving the world, you don’t want to be seen celebrating it.
