What we have to do now is to make the public at large aware that what we're looking at is not a historical event but - and I have to be brutal and I am going to say it - a racket.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
History is made every day. The challenge is getting everyone to pay attention to it.
The one challenge you have when you're going back into history is that people, unlike with today's news - we think we know what's happened already - we think that it's history and therefore less interesting.
Events are moving so fast and what in one moment seems impossible, the next is happening. I'm sure historians will, in time, provide theories and analysis, but for now I think most of us simply want the tide stemmed.
History is what we bring to it, not just the events themselves, but how we interpret those events.
Commemorations can stimulate debate, which will ultimately lead to a greater understanding of the events of our 'through-other' history and to shape a better future.
My whole thing is I want to affect history in a positive way. I want the timeline to be, 100 years from now, when we look back, it's going to be like, the world was like this, and then Shameik Moore hit the world, and everything changed for the better. It was a new light. Something special.
I feel like history is about going and discovering the great human stories that just are every bit as relevant as anything that's going on today.
History is full of really good stories. That's the main reason I got into this racket: I want to make the argument that history is interesting.
A historical event represents the best and the worst of that moment.
People understand we're on the doorstep of doing something really historic that will help the American people and strengthen our country for the long run.
