I think history is inextricably linked to identity. If you don't know your history, if you don't know your family, who are you?
Do not feel trapped by the facts of your history. Your history is not some set of sacred facts. History is an interpretation, and your history is yours to interpret. To know the history and then reinterpret it gives you additional depth.
I don't think that it's ever irrelevant to know where you came from, to know your history, and to improve upon your history.
I think it's important to understand Shari'a to be rooted in history - what we know about the history and what we don't know about the history. So then, if people want to argue, at least they're arguing from the same point and we know what we know, and we know what we don't know.

If history could teach us anything, it would be that private property is inextricably linked with civilization.
In the 1960s, the civil rights movement was about getting to know your culture, your history. I know all about my history.
Yes, your family history has some sad chapters. But your history doesn't have to be your future. The generational garbage can stop here and now.

I try to understand other people's viewpoints on things and be better in the future. I think if you look at my history as a baseball player, my history on social media and my history as a person, for those who know me well, they know that I apply that process to everything that I do.
I think where you're born brings a history with it - a cultural history, a mythical history, an ancestral history, a religious context - and certainly influences your perception of the world and how you interpret everyday reality.
Ever hear the expression "write what you know?" My version says "write what you want to know." If you want to know about the history of Spain, write about the history of Spain - fiction or nonfiction. If your fascinated by the old west, maybe your character lives there.
You create history within yourself. You create history within your own family. You create your own legacy. Because I create history without even trying to and that's when the best parts of history are created.
I think everyone should understand history of segregation the same way we had to go to school and read about George Washington.
