History is a tough subject. Violence, racism, trauma, war, slavery, colonialism, sexism, genocide—these are all a part of our past. In our travels through time, we cannot shy away from addressing these topics. They played a central role in what happened before, and they explain the world we live in today. We believe that these stories do not detract from the magic. Instead, this approach allows us to achieve a more rich and complex understanding of the past and can also help us work toward a more just and equal society today.
