We Have to do a Better Job of Owning Our Past with Hannibal Johnson

How Wide the World Is with Sarah Kirk
Raised in Oklahoma by a single mother, Sarah Kirk--a self-described homebody—liked to stay close but also couldn’t shake the urge to go far. By age 16 she was in Germany all on her own attending German high school. Two years later she was back in Oklahoma studying Europe and medieval studies at OSU. How can we feel fulfilled when we can't stay at home and be away exploring at the same time? Sarah sees studying history as one solution.
Studying History is not for the faint of heart. It knocks us out of our comfort zone. But maybe that's the point. Good History is a podcast from the Oklahoma State University History Department inspired by Oklahoma native Dr. John Hope Franklin's wisdom that "A good historian is a moralist at heart." We ask historians: why do you study what you study? We ask people: how does knowing more about the past make your life, and our lives, better? And along the way we dig into a paradox: Americans love history—we fight over it bitterly--but many voice skepticism about its value in education. Why?
