The study of history shapes our understanding of the world and ourselves. However, there are concerted efforts by some to distort and rewrite American history through a revisionist lens. Dr. John Kenneth White provides analysis of this troubling trend and how it threatens to whitewash uncomfortable truths and perpetuate a narrative that does a disservice to historical accuracy. As citizens, we have a responsibility to vigilantly safeguard the integrity of our nation's complex and nuanced history from those who would manipulate it for their own agendas. Because if we do not, then those legacies and lessons will be lost in future generations.
