“Will You Be Remembered as a Good Person?” FLASHBACK! KEW Episode 16: Who Tells Your Story?

This post was inspired by Lin Manuel Miranda and ‘Hamilton’. History is ‘His’ ‘Story. No matter what happens, it is kept alive in memories, writing, and stories. And whomever keeps it alive interprets the story. However, eyewitness testimony, or individual human memory, has been shown to be among the LEAST reliable way to relate things that happen ( However, eyewitness testimony, or individual human memory, has been shown to be among the LEAST reliable way…
