This summer the United States will celebrate the 250-year anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. When you read the Declaration, you realize it is a list of complaints. The last entry, the climax in our founders’ reasons for rebellion against the Crown, is this: “He has ex... more

  • Essential Listening for all Americans

Until we accept and internalize the truth, we can’t begin to make meaningful changes. Some may not th... more

    Black Boys Militia. Thank you for teaching us this history of the first real world war. I was kinda confused about the Black Boys fighting. I feel like I would’ve wanted it explained more that they were white men who put charcoal on their faces and then fought against the British and Natives for the Natives land. Bit against this is an amazing series that along with 1619 should be taught in all classrooms. Thank you
