I'm hoping someone might be able to help me with the source for a
quotation.  Unfortunately, I cannot even give the exact quotation, but
the essence of it is apprxomiated here:

When we study history, why do we know only the names and lives of
kings and generals?  Who were the workers who hauled the bricks to
build the pyramids?  What of the lives of those who constructed the
Great Wall of China?  Who were those who built the temples in Greece?

It goes on in this vein, and is a very beautiful quotation.  I would
like to find it as soon as possible to share with my history students.
If anyone knows it, please let me know who said and what book it is
in.

Thanks!
