He places so much importance into not erasing history because even though history can be cruel and harsh to learn about it is still our history. And erasing it will not help/solve anything. In fact having and knowing our history is not only cool (even if some parts are sad) but it can be very educational (wow really? who knew?). What I mean by this is that if we erase the bad parts of our past we cannot learn from our past mistakes if they are no longer there to learn from. That's why history can be so important to know and to have.

I agree, Diego artist can have a big impact.

I agree with you Gavin. They would only see one side and you need both sides.

I think Kaphur did not want to erase history because history is important. He put so much value in history because he doesn't want it to repeat. He also tries to amend history not to change or erase but to amend it. He even said himself "We should do it in the same way the American constitution works."

I agree with you Noah. We can't change the past but we can move on with the knowledge that that every thing is getting better little by little.

I agree with you Gavin. You need that other point of view to get a full understanding on what happened good job!

I agree that art can amend history. We can make art history so much more with an explanation, make it it so that people can have an understanding on that other point of view. We have art from back then that sometimes does not give a good reasoning behind it. I think amending art from history would give it a different point of view which would be good for people to see.

I really agree! If we didn't have history we could have knowledge on mistakes. We would be wandering and wandering through the same thing, so we wouldn't know what to do.

I really agree with you Avery. If we want to keep those mistakes from happening, we must remember, but still change our perspective.

My book is attempting to amend history by setting up racism and attempting to justify the victim. People are either supporting her or supporting a police officer who jumped to conclusions. I hope that in the end, there will be justifications in the situation, and we will find peace in the ending.

I'm pretty sure it is called Ghost.

I agree

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with him. This is because art can really help highlight what's important. It can take the spotlight away from the things that society considers "important" and more towards the unsung heroes and the people in the background.

Great thinking! I agree with you Gavin.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with you Noah!

# data[].attributes.body
with you Demetri because no one really does pay attention to history unless we are learning it or something major happened that effected all of that that's happened in the past.

# data[].attributes.body
Great Job Eli! I totally agree with you. History has effected the way that we do things today.

# data[].attributes.body
What the name of your book... Sounds interesting :)

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with that Gavin.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with you because Now today we have so much diversity and opportunists to create something big and make an impact for the future.

Kaphur places so much importance on not erasing history because we need to learn about all history. One big reason why we need to learn about history is so that we can improve and learn from our past mistakes to not let these bad things happen again.

# data[].attributes.body
I do agree because I have heard of pictures of racial paintings like of the Ku Klux Klan that can be changed from all this hate to love. I believe artists like Kaphur can have a big impact on art history.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with you Noah

Kaphur has so much importance on not earasing history because it what shaped the world today and effected how we do things. But if we erase history how will we lean what to do and What know to do. This is why Kaphur thinks this method and i agree with him. If you think about it How will the world be like today if we erased history?

that is really cool and really shows trying to amend history

They amend our understanding because they not only convey a meaning but they share the life those people lived. I say this because it is easy for us to say something on those events but to actually be there (in a way) is a different story.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Kaphur emphasizes this idea because you can't change history you can only improve the future and he tries to show that with his art.

# data[].attributes.body
My novel appears to amend history when the protagonist Ghost is running from his father both him and his mother because he is trying to shoot them and in my book he tries to run from his past and that is how he relates to track when the gun the goes off.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with kaphurs claim because if art is only made by one race or gender than only that side will be able to see one side of that story while the whites had a great lives the African Americans did not have a good live as slaves.

# data[].attributes.body
It Told the story from the point of view that was most affected. March was not afraid to list every detail and event that happened to raise awareness.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with him, because the example he made shows that art can bring out of part of history no one really pays attention to.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that art can. If we expand on the art that we have, we could still show what happened without repeating it. The past has some things that we would think wouldn't repeat its self, but history repeats its self all the time. In recent times it looks different because of the rapid progression of technology, but we still have wars over land just like we did hundreds of years ago.

He places so much importance on not erasing history because it is important that history does not repeat itself. If we erase history we forget the mistakes we made. If we forget we will make those mistakes again. Don't erase history just change your glance. Put your focus on something else.
