Times, whether you were researching them on the internet or doing research for your papers in this class but there are a number of stories that continue to be circulated and perpetuated. What i like about this is you get to not only debunk these things but try to figure out where they started and why people grew so attached to them ecause that also tells you a little bit more about how people understand the past and how they use it or misuse it. So, remember earlier in the semester we talked about the Jackson Magnolia. I think a number of you went into detail about the Jackson Magnolia. Alex, was it you who wrote about the Jackson Magnolia . You already know this. But think about to when johnson pivska visited the class and we talked about the Jackson Magnolia. Who remembers the story .
