The 1619 Project vs His-Story

Those who control the present, control the past and those who control the past control the future. George Orwell, 1984 

The 1619 Project was published in the New York Times to great acclaim by many on the Political Left.  Its view of America’s history was quickly challenged by many of America’s most renowned historians of our Founding period who began to point out the many inaccuracies and half-truths posited by the Project’s various authors. Despite these challenges to the Project’s accuracy and integrity, its supporters have published a 1619 Project curriculum for both elementary and high school students and this curriculum is now being freely downloaded and integrated into thousands of public school classrooms nationwide.  Does what our children learn about America’s history matter? Yes! Our knowledge of history is a major factor in the formation of our worldview, and a comprehensive, Biblical worldview will understand God’s providential hand in the formation of our country.
