“We're a nation of many different people, and we need to get to know one another.”

“I worry a lot about the state of American history and civics education.”

“The way you get a better history curriculum is to have a lot of people pushing for it.”

“I think it is very important for us to know our history, to know our story.”

“We have to know our history to know who we are.”

“The arts and humanities are not mere diversions. They are essential to our well-being as a nation.”

“I think people are hungry for a discussion of the Constitution.”

“History is the story of human beings. It's not a story of abstractions.”

“The story of America is a story of progress and expansion, of rebellion and reform.”

“The idea that you can merchandise candidates for high office like breakfast cereal... is, I think, the ultimate indignity to the democratic process.”
