Misinformation is on the rise. From cable news to social media, we’re very aware that what we’re hearing or reading could be wrong. And it seems our skepticism of the right-wing version of current events should extend to our history as well.

A new book, Myth America: Historians Take On the Biggest Legends and Lies About Our Past

([link removed])

, dispels many of the myths being pushed about our country’s past. In a collection of 20 essays from top historians, edited by Kevin Kruse and Julian Zelizer, this important text shows how conservatives have used revisionist history to fan the flames of politicization and unravel the seams of democracy.

Speakers: Akhil Reed Amar, Sterling Professor of Law and Political Science, Yale University // Kevin Kruse, Professor of History, Princeton University // Kathleen Belew, Associate Professor, Northwestern University // Carol Anderson, Charles Howard Candler Professor of African American Studies, Emory University // Moderator: Julian Zelizer, Malcolm Stevenson Forbes, Class of 1941 Professor of History and Public Affairs, Princeton University
