From the “Southern Strategy” to the civil rights movement, we’re surfacing what is true about our nation’s past, and what is propaganda masquerading as history.
We're in front of the National Museum of American History. We're asking people,"What is one story or fact that you thought you knew about American history that turned out not to be true?"Everybody thought Thomas Edison invented the first light bulb. He actually did not.I, for some reason, as a little kid, thought that if you were elected president once, you just had to say,"Oh, I just want to do it again," and you could run again and again and again.
Which is why I'm excited this week to talk with Princeton University History Professor Kevin Kruse. Kevin's scholarship has focused on the evolution of modern conservative politics and its relationship to the civil rights movement, among other things. His most recent book is a collection he co-edited titledwhich perhaps will find itself soon on a banned list in some state. Kevin, thanks for making time for us.We got to start with Ron DeSantis.
All these claims were made about the civil rights struggle in the 60s and yet, if you've drawn this false dividing line between the past and the present, it's attempt to make that past sealed off and useless for us when it's really vibrant and important today.
