Sherri McDonald Explains the Impact of Facing History on her Son |
Sherri McDonald explains the impact Facing History has had on her son. "At each Facing History seminar my son
learned not just the depths to which flawed humanity may sink, but the
heights to which the unquenchable human spirit can soar. He was
outraged by the cruelty; he was awestruck by the heroism. Facing
History and Ourselves transforms global struggles through meaningful
engagement with such acuity and clarity that students realize, perhaps
for the first time, 'That could be us....That could be me...'"He learned that how he chooses to live each day matters.
