Fairbanks History Day
February 20-24, 2023
Frontiers in History: People, Places, Ideas
National History Day is a program that inspires in American students a passion for history. Each year more than half a million children from across the country compete in this event, conducting research and producing websites, papers, performances, and documentaries to tell the human story.
"The study of History is not to deride human action, nor to weep over it or to hate it, but to understand it. And hopefully then to learn from it as we contemplate our future."
- Nelson Mandela
"Study History. Separate fears and prejudices from facts. Recognize facts from propaganda. Invest energy in fighting for what you believe in. Analyze harder where we are going and what you are doing about it. What do you really believe in? "
- Mae Brussell
"History is, strictly speaking, the study of questions. History cannot give us a program for the future, but it can give us a fuller understanding of ourselves and of our common humanity, so that we can better face the future."
- Robert Penn Warren
