So, Sal here from Khan Academy, and I'm excited to be here with John Dickerson, co-host of CBS This Morning.

And I'm excited to be here too! Some of y'all might be wondering what we are doing together. We are going to be talking about civics and government and American history.

You're going to see a series of videos on Khan Academy, tapping into John's expertise. You know, when I cover the news every single day, one of the first things I do is I go back and look at our amazing American history.

For two reasons: one, what has the standard been in the past? How have people behaved in the past? So we know whether what's happening now is new, crazy, interesting, or in keeping with the American experience.

The other thing is, when you learn about history, when you look to the past, you can sometimes have a clue about what's going to happen in the future.

Even though things are much different now with technology and the pace of things, turns out human beings behave the same way in a lot of ways all throughout American history.

So this is going to be a very exciting, as you could tell, series of videos. Some of them are going to be John and myself, and some of them are going to be John giving us kind of connecting what you learn in school to what's happening in the world around us.
