"Economic historian Phil Magness tackles the many falsehoods and misconceptions of the New York Times 1619 Project, a progressive political project that attempts to rewrite the American founding story as one of oppression (1619), rather than liberation (1776). When historical discussions devolve into partisan identity politics, Magness steps up to apply his decades of rigorous scholarship.
