Understand the Effort

   This issue of preserving history through Save our History and why historic sites should be protected is still in its infancy. The organization does however use a wide range of techniques that try to rope communities and individuals on the side of being for their cause. Save our History is backed by a massive organization that has an outlet to millions. The History channel has become one of the most recognizable television channels on the television. With this form of revenue stream it allows the foundation a large range of budgeting for such things as commercials and ads. Most of these have celebrity endorses such as John Legend, Michael Keaton, and many more celebrities endorse the messages that are geared toward Save our History. The celebrities appeal to middle age men and women who have the ability to do something about the history that once was in their state and in their community. 

    Educating one about past mistakes made in history could help potentially from happening it again in the present. Save our History campaign brought a new twist into most campaigns, which educates the children of the United States about certain topics across the course of history. In order to preserve a historic object it is necessary to know the meaning behind it that makes it significant. These sessions that our sponsored by Save our History educate young minds about the American history through videos, games, and educational television. The lack of knowledge about history is a major problem in America. 70 percent of Americans don't know what the Constitution stands for; an alarming stat. Americans lack of historic knowledge has gotten so bad that 38 percent of American citizens out of a 1000 collective sample failed the U.S. citizenship test. This test is issued to immigrants seeking citizenship. This form is trying to identify the problem and combating ignorance at a young age in grade school to really focus on the study of history. This part of the campaign makes educational documents that allow students to fully understand different events through the course of history. This form serves the issues of the American public's ignorance toward historic events as well as promote their campaign to all target markets rather than the typical investors. Doing a service of this magnitude sparks up positive publicity and comes across as a positive influence on the surrounding area. 

     This organization was founded in the act to protect some of American histories most unique and ordinary alike parts of history. This campaign not only preserves but also helps educate people on vast areas of history.  Save our History acts to try to stop some hindering commercial expansion and under appreciation of some of the national relics that are forever apart of American history. Upon my research I haven't found extremists on either ends of the campaign. They’re those who are opposed to this campaign because some of the historical landmarks that are trying to be saved sit on money trees for potential businesses. Cut throat businesses such as Wal-mart, banks, and shopping centers are found along, thorough and over some of America's "sacred ground" 

    With the amount of backing that this campaign has both individually and collectively, I personally feel comfortable representing this campaign. The marketing, actions, and positive representatives of the Save our History campaign to preserve history is making an impact but in some ways is also failing. Negative stories of how some relics and historical sites, which were demolished, should be more of a big deal. Rick who is a star of History's Pawn Stars said this about preserving history " We need things of the past no matter good or bad, so it can be a reminder of what or not to do."
