History has the power to shape our perceptions of reality, our lives, and our world. But that power is often misused or abused. "The Challenge of History," is designed for students to learn the tools historians use to recreate the past with accuracy so they can critically challenge myths and falsehoods, including Abraham Lincoln’s wrestling career, the 1938 War of the Worlds “Hoax,” and the darkest end of this spectrum – Holocaust Denial. Students will leave invigorated and prepared to separate fact from fiction when learning about the past.
