Teenagers unimpressed with a place in history
A survey shows 64.1 percent of teens have no favorite historical figure, while 95.5 percent name someone from the past. Respondents cite figures from Helen Keller to Julius Caesar and John F. Kennedy, with opinions split on whether history is well taught or significant events like the moon landing or Watergate shaped their view.
