History
"See the Good Behind the Hood" was elected as one of the UKYP's three West Midlands campaigns in March 2008, when the newly elected Members of Youth Parliament (MYPs) from around the county met for the first time and voted on their top three issues to campaign on in the upcoming year. The project is led by Dan Willetts, MYP for Dudley, and Andy Marlow, MYP for Birmingham.
On 15 November 2008, a campaign launch was held with a publicity stunt in central Birmingham, featuring a banner and five foam men. While they were up, they received a good response from passers-by. However, the men were kidnapped after a short period of time and, demoralised, nothing more was done that day.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“It is remarkable how closely the history of the apple tree is connected with that of man.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Man watches his history on the screen with apathy and an occasional passing flicker of horror or indignation.”

“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
