Moving Stones with historian Dr. Lindsay Marshall Part 1

Dr. Lindsay Marshall is a historian of the American west and she joins us to talk about how history is not just filled with gaps, it's simply wrong. The things we learn about history create a public memory and that matters. The way that we remember things matter because that's what shapes how we react to social needs and problems how we shape policy and legislation. Revisiting these narratives is like trying to plow a field, but the field is full of rocks that you need to get out of the way. And you have to talk about the rocks, but they aren't the point. The point is clearing the field.
