What a beautiful and inspiring tribute to a man that combines broad, self-contextualizing, comparative, interdisciplinary approaches to history with tough, nurturing and decent human relations. I like the imagery of presenting students with a cliff but letting the determine their own ascent path.
What a beautiful tribute and amazing scene you've set. "The audience seems simultaneously to aspire to great heights and to chew gum" will stick with me my friend!
Gracias, friends.
You have captured the man and how he captured others' (historical) imagination only to set it free.
