Introduction	I am Associate Professor of History and Director of the Public History Track at the University of Maryland Baltimore County. I am interested in understanding the emotional attachments that Americans form to the past. What is the potential educational value and meaning of these feelings? What do they tell us about who we are and what we believe? What is the value of history in the practice of everyday life?
