Publisher's summary

It’s the New “Big Lie”.

According the New York Times’ “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 200 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.

Truth Bomb

Grabar provides the proof why the 1919 Project is propaganda, not history. We should not view it as something that should be taught in schools. Historiography 101 teaches that we don't cherry-pick sources to shape our narrative. The narrative should flow out of the research just as we we box-in the answer to an algebraic equation. Poor history (or ideology disguised as history) causes ridiculousness such as the tearing down the statue of Hans Christian Heg, an abolitionist.

Brilliant and balanced

The author pointed out assertions of the 1619 Project and puts them in their proper perspective. in fact, at times it seems like Grabar is pushing those assertions only to next show their exaggerations and misinterpretations. The 1619 Project is debunked and shown to be what it really is, propaganda.

the truth

love this book, it put to shame the fiction book of 1619. more people need to review this to understand the truth

Sanity Revisited

Grabar dispels the litany of unfounded and offensive myths of our nation’s founding and founders that have become the new normal. However, she is honest and pointed in her denouncing of slavery, irrespective of when, where, by whom, and of whom. My Great Grandfather had slaves, and I grew up hating for no good reason. I have confronted my sin and rejected my horrible beliefs. Nonetheless, this writing has opened my eyes to the fact of world-wide slavery and why I can be proud of my country and fellow citizens.

A must read

Exposes the propaganda produced by selective edit and use of historical fact indented by the 1619 Project. Each of 1619’s contributors use this to place themselves in position of power over their innocently ignorant readers. In attempting to feel powerful the contributors place their readers into another form of slavery.

Must read

Anyone interested in who has questions about America’s origin and slavery needs to read this book. It is well researched and is sound information. Many things I learned in this book for the first time, as we are not taught much of this information today.

Excellent

The only question is how do school boards allow the historical inaccuracies of the 1619 Project infiltrate their schools’ curriculum. I have a history degree with an emphasis on Caribbean History. Mary went light on pointing out the 1619 Projects errors but hit on the most important factual inaccuracies. This is an excellent book.

A Must Read!

Mary Grabar goes way beyond just Debunking the 1619 Project. She finishes the book by demolishing the tenets of the 1619 Project using names, dates and reviews of actual real historians.

It's Grabar's volume of information coming down like a sledgehammer on The 1619 Project's baseless accusations that sets it apart from other books.

Grabar leaves Hannah-Jones no quarter, leaving the polemicist up to her chin in debunked lies and racist rhetoric.

Great meticulous approach

the comparison was well done to show so much of the outright misrepresentation of the facts Hanna Jones tried to payout. its terrible that work folks continue to dwell on what happened over 160 years instead of highlights on the achievements made since then. Great narrator

Every parent & student should read this

Mary Grabar goes through and corrects ALL the lies being taught our youth these days via The 1619 Project. Correcting these in public schools is a step toward restoring patriotism and a LOVE for America!
Another excellent book is Black Rednecks & White Liberals by Thomas Sowell.
