HISTORY, HISTORY

Everything that has already happened, any time from about five minutes ago, is history, but only time will tell what reaches the archives. Threads on the discussion board include 'Favorite era in history', 'history mystery', 'History women - Most memorable ?', 'a good book', 'Favorite Founding Father?', 'Lost Roanoke colony' and '96 years ago today'. If you'd rather see history than read about it, there are some great recommendations in 'Top 5 History Movies'. There are lots of links to other internet resources in wall posts. The gallery has less than 100 images, but there are some fascinating ones, including school pictures of Barack Obama and stills from a 1935 film, called 'Sanders of the River' in which a penniless Jomo Kenyatta acted decades before he was to become first prime minister and later president of an independent Kenya.

What's great about this group: Explore the non-boring side of history.

Update (28 October 2023)
While there are numerous awesome history groups, I could not conclusively link any of them to the Facebook group profiled here.
