Essential parts of our history have been willfully suppressed & ignored, but we can only be the best nation we can be by facing the facts - alternative facts won’t do. That has been the work of sociologist, historian, writer and teacher James Loewen. His work has included ground-breaking research about racism where & when we haven't acknowledged it, in the Sundown Towns outside of the traditional South, and his analysis of the failings of our history curriculum, Lies My Teacher Told Me.

We need more people like this
We need more people like this. Thanks for your honesty and integrity and your willingness to not only change personally but to put the challenge out there for us all. I am buying at least 3 books for my teenage sons and myself and my husband. To Yah be the glory!
