History is doomed to be repeated if it is not remembered. Not that I think there is a great chance of the Civil War reoccurring anytime soon, but the State of Georgia is still making sure that state historical markers are constantly being updated and added. For the first time, the state is adding more markers related to issues dealing with African Americans and women. These additions make the retelling of the history of our state a little bit more complete, even if the events related are tragic.
I applaud Georgia's effort to keep history alive, and I hope that states across the nation are attempting to do the same. We never need to forget where we've come from.
