The 1787 Project: True History
What is the 1787 Project?
Over 4200 hours of independent research produced over three-thousand pages and nearly four-thousand footnotes, culminating in the six-volume series, The 1787 Project. These volumes accurately detail the history of racial politics throughout America, from the Colonial Period through the Civil Rights Era.
As an academic response to historical revisionists, The Project foregoes criticisms and insists instead that an accurate portrayal of contextual facts be allowed to tell the tale. The true circumstnaces of complex, difficult subjects such as slavery, segregation, and the political manipulation of black Americans. The only omissions are weak, fallacious appeals to emotion and authority.
