Fellow American,

 

There is a powerful movement in our culture to teach young Americans that our nation’s history is oppressive and shameful. 

 

Sometimes, this effort goes under the name “critical race theory.” Other times, activists advance these ideas through works like The New York Times’ “1619 Project.” 

This radical movement pushes a narrative that slavery, not freedom, is the defining characteristic of American history. They teach our children that we should replace equal individual rights with the idea of unequal rights based on group identity.

Hillsdale College is committed to countering this destructive ideology. That’s why we have produced a new, free online course titled “Civil Rights in American History.” And right now, it is available in a special, limited DVD box set.

 

When you take this course, you’ll learn about:

• How our Founding Founders understood equality, natural rights, and civil rights.
• The quest for justice in America through the Civil War, during Reconstruction, and in the 20th century. 
• The danger posed to freedom and civil rights today by identity politics.

You can help promote “Civil Rights in American History” and receive your very own DVD box set of this timely and important new course by giving a tax-deductible gift of $100 or more today.

 

As we do all of our work, we produce free online courses while refusing to accept any government funding. We don’t even receive indirect funding in the form of federal or state student grants or loans. 

 

At Hillsdale, we rely entirely on the support of private citizens like you who agree with our mission on behalf of liberty.

 

Please help promote Hillsdale’s free online courses and other educational outreach efforts during this critical time by making your best gift today. And don’t forget. When you give $100 or more, you’ll receive your very own DVD box set of “Civil Rights in American History.”
