History is awesome! So rich, so vibrant…and mostly so amazingly garbled and riddled with inaccuracies. Here today is a modest start in correcting the damage. :)

You may also enjoy the book “Lies My Teacher Told Me” although that book is about U.S. historical lies.

A People’s History of the United States is also good similar reading. :)

I remember in my mid twenties asking myself, if most everything I was taught, in the humanities and particularly in history was just not true. I concluded yes. From then on, I proceeded to teach myself by reading, I still am reading. I think it is the best way to learn. I’ve read a fair amount on slavery and racism. One of the best books I read was titled,”Slavery by Another Name” It is about the re-enslavement of Black Americans from the civil War to WW11. By Douglas Blackmon. You may feel angry when you finish it though. I did.

Thank you for the recommendation. I felt the same way after reading Manufacturing Consent by Noam Chomsky.
