1865 Project

The 1865 Project is an initiative aimed at promoting accurate education about the history of slavery, Reconstruction, and racial issues in the United States. It emphasizes teaching how these historical events shaped America and advocates for honesty in addressing difficult topics related to race and history. The project seeks to ensure students receive a comprehensive understanding of America's past, countering narratives that may distort or omit significant aspects of history. It encourages a respectful, factual approach to discussing these subjects to foster informed and engaged citizens.
