Slavery is part of America’s story—its greatest shame. But abolition is part of America’s story, too.

Ignoring the latter isn’t just bad scholarship. It’s brazen deceit.

And more often than not, it’s done for political reasons…

That’s why Senior Fellow and David J. Theroux Chair Phillip W. Magness has sounded the alarm on the New York Times’ outright ideological warfare on American history.

The 1619 Project, advertised by the Times as a journalistic deep dive on the history of slavery, was anything but. Project creator Nikole Hannah-Jones foisted partisan hysteria, sloppy “scholarship,” blatant errors of fact and interpretation, and, above all else, an anti-capitalist agenda to make the case for tearing down our free market economy.

Thankfully, Magness’ new book ([link removed]) provides the essential guide to the many lies, distortions, and propaganda peddled by The1619 Project and its defenders. It’s a long-overdue rebuke to “scholars” who treat history as a political weapon.

“There is no one better to pick apart the disastrous 1619 Project than Phil Magness. If every classroom that incorporated the 1619 Project into its curriculum replaced it with this book, the country would be better off.”
—Coleman Hughes, host of Conversations with Coleman
