HIStory

what is the story, where did it come from, and why is the word derived from his story? he told stories of the past and the anecdotes that the elders would recount over generations were and still are valued. they were often repeated and shared through a man. he was the vehicle ... the form of these stories' disemination. then it became his journal and his letters to loved ones and corespondenses. but how about the rest. the children the women, the poor and those who weren't writing the books and recounting the stories...they were there too and they had a part to play.

it was said while i was at school that 75% of what we read was false. maybe that's because the man who was toiling the land and the millions of those who built the cities that we revel about daily and praise the architect for, never get asked a thing about anything. the guy who put together the house be it made of mud, tin, wood, brick, concrete, wood, or steel...do you know his name? the men who are to thank for the fruits in your basket, the veggies digesting as you read this and the butcher who cut the meat this morning. does anyone ever take them into consideration and ask them how things are going in their lives? what did their ancestors live? if the masses of such people were heard our stories would be very different.

how about the second half of the world's population? where were the woman... in Troy they played a part. isn't it only fair that since the world is made up of 51% females and 49% males the story would be ourstory?
