What Our Conscience Remembers


There's an aspect of this I'm not comfortable with.  If history is really amoral, why are we finding out horrifying things that happened, often to communities of color, years afterward?  Things glossed over or eliminated altogether in history classes?  Where does what is recorded and passed on fit in with the moral/amoral designation?  If we weren't physically present, we have to rely on the written word which can be manipulated by immoral people lacking a conscience.  Facts matter.  I wish it didn't often take years or decades and sometimes centuries to discover them.  Where is justice in that?    kas
