Historian

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

"The past is what makes the present coherent."

"...the history of South Carolina is inexorably intertwined with slavery....There likely would be no South Carolina history were it not for the labors of the African-Americans brought to these shores in slave ships."

 

You are a well-known historian at a major university in the South. You have spent years researching the history of slavery and have written a book about the rich history of Charleston, South Carolina, in the slave trade.

As a historian, you value the past and think it should be preserved. You have serious reservations about the proposed development project because of what it might destroy. But you realize that land development is changing the face of America everywhere.

Your job on the task force is to educate members about the history of the region. You hope that by sharing the lessons of the past, you can convince the task force to somehow protect the region's history or at least find a way to recognize and honor that past.

You are OPPOSED to the resort development.
