History
Unity College has recently been successfully redesignated as a College specialising in English and the Arts. The College initially occupied the former Towneley High School, but moved to a state of the art new £33m building in September 2010 as part of the Building Schools for the Future programme.
The 20th January 2011 edition of Question Time was broadcast from Unity College, with some pupils in the audience. The panel featured PFA chairman and Burnley FC captain Clarke Carlisle, Conservative Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman, former Respect MP George Galloway, former communications director to the Prime Minister Alastair Campbell, and Lib Dem Deputy Leader Simon Hughes.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“[Men say:] “Don’t you know that we are your natural protectors?” But what is a woman afraid of on a lonely road after dark? The bears and wolves are all gone; there is nothing to be afraid of now but our natural protectors.”
—Frances A. Griffin, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 19, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
“Racism is an ism to which everyone in the world today is exposed; for or against, we must take sides. And the history of the future will differ according to the decision which we make.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
“History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.... It is not “history” which uses men as a means of achieving—as if it were an individual person—its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
