The Washington Post today launched Made by History, a new blog in The Post’s Outlook section that will explore parallels between today’s political climate and history.
The blog will feature commentary from 75 historians from nationally renowned universities and institutions including Harvard University, Yale University, University of Pennsylvania, University of Virginia and more.
“It’s an exciting time to be a part of The Post,” said Brian Rosenwald, historian at UPenn and Made by History’s Editor-in-Chief. “We believe that our contributors will add a unique level of insight and expertise to the ongoing political discussion that many of The Post’s pieces currently generate.”
The first three blog posts will focus on the politics of healthcare, how ISIS has distorted Ramadan, and a Supreme Court decision on a case involving a young Mexican boy who was killed at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Made by History was named after Martin Luther King, Jr.’s quote: “Instead of making history, we are made by history.” The blog can be found here.
