Uncovering the injustices of the past is the most important aspect of historical research for it enables us to understand and correct the present. The calling of historians, in its purity, is to become beacons of justice and leaders of change. Historical knowledge of the violence, injustice, racism, and greed of the past disassembles false ideologies that govern the present. Historical truth is able to lift the cultural weight of lies from the shoulders of the population who live in a false reality. History’s witness to the failings and inhumane activity of power is preserved in the voices of the powerless, the victims of history.
