Martin Luther King said “We are not makers of history. We are made by history.” I’m not sure about the first half of this quote coming from history-maker Martin Luther King, but I am good with the second half.

Some places are especially good for understanding a little bit about world history, and feeling the past and how it has influenced our world today.
