Documenting and preserving their stories, their legacy, is so crucial now as a way to offer younger generations a chance to learn from them. My fear is they might become a generation reserved for casual historical mentions of the times they lived in, their memories and lessons forgotten and lost forever.

Cursive, and all of its inherent benefits, provides us a link to our past, connectivity within our present and a portal to our future. For these and so many other reasons, cursive is a skill that must remain within our schools and our cultural realm.
