It’s the New “Big Lie”

According the New York Times’s “1619 Project,” America was not founded in 1776, with a declaration of freedom and independence, but in 1619 with the introduction of African slavery into the New World. Ever since then, the “1619 Project” argues, American history has been one long sordid tale of systemic racism.

Celebrated historians have debunked this, more than two hundred years of American literature disproves it, parents know it to be false, and yet it is being promoted across America as an integral part of grade school curricula and unquestionable orthodoxy on college campuses.

The “1619 Project” is not just bad history, it is a danger to our national life, replacing the idea, goal, and reality of American unity with race-based obsessions that we have seen play out in violence, riots, and the destruction of American monuments—not to mention the wholesale rewriting of America’s historical and cultural past.

In her new book, Debunking the 1619 Project, scholar Mary Grabar, shows, in dramatic fashion, just how full of flat-out lies, distortions, and noxious propaganda the “1619 Project” really is. It is essential listening for every concerned parent, citizen, school board member, and policymaker.

Critics Review

  • “Mary Grabar has done America a great service in her vitally important new book. She exposes the malicious fiction and nefarious motives behind the New York Times’ 1619 Project. In doing so, she tells the unvarnished truth about a fundamentally decent country, the United States of America.”

    Dennis Prager, nationally syndicated radio talk show host, founder of PragerU, and author of ten books, most recently The Rational Bible: Deuteronomy, the third volume of his commentary on the Bible

  • “With The 1619 Project, the New York Times unleashed a feverous malady of ingratitude and self-loathing upon the American body politic. Mary Grabar’s Debunking The 1619 Project is just the shot of historical truth the doctor ordered.”

    Kevin R. C. Gutzman, author of Thomas Jefferson - Revolutionary and The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Constitution

  • “The 1619 Project rightly is criticized for distorting history to suit an ideological agenda. It claims that slavery—not freedom—defines American history…Debunking The 1619 Project is a fine and learned book and should be read by all.”

    Larry Arnn, president of Hillsdale College

  • “Mary Grabar’s Debunking The 1619 Project is a vital read in a nation where the pseudohistory of The 1619 Project is granted Pulitzers. True history requires coming to grips with ugly facts, but it also requires acknowledging America’s unique greatness. Grabar’s defense of true history is indispensable.”

    Ben Shapiro, host of The Ben Shapiro Show and founding editor of the Daily Wire
