Studying history can give you an idea of what is going to happen in the future. Historians specialize in many different time periods and spend years researching their area of expertise. As speakers, they take audiences back to pivotal moments to understand what they were like. Historians use those presentations to make people have a greater appreciation for those that came before them.
