** Liberty matters.
------------------------------------------------------------


** Everyone deserves to be free to pursue prosperity, community, and happiness—regardless of color, heritage, or creed.
------------------------------------------------------------

This shouldn’t be controversial. Unfortunately, it is.

That’s why the Independent Institute is so fiercely devoted to the work of defending civil liberties. It’s a deeply urgent task.

We seek a world where people can work and live freely without government interference, censorship, or corruption. The truth is, we have a long road ahead of us.

Fortunately, we have the ideas, solutions, and passion to make a real impact—not just in America but around the world.

Research and publications are vitally important. But we don’t stop there. Our goals are bigger: we want to unleash an era of unparalleled human flourishing and liberty. Our work is carefully created, designed, and peer-reviewed to ensure the greatest positive impact.

To this end, we are delighted to announce the release of the updated edition of Race & Liberty in America: The Essential Reader ([link removed]) , edited by Research Fellow Jonathan J. Bean. Be inspired by these rich writings on civil liberties and join us in redeeming the promises of America’s founding.

** The Essential Reader
------------------------------------------------------------


** Edited by Jonathan J. Bean
------------------------------------------------------------

“It is hard to imagine a more timely book than the latest edition of Jonathan Bean’s (ed.) Race and Liberty in America. This new version drops during a more jaded and cynical time: following a decade of Black Lives Matter protests and riots, the angry ‘dissident right’ response, and the often-bombastic Trump administration. The book features original essays from Thomas Sowell, Coleman Hughes, Thomas Chatterton Williams, David Berenstein, and many others, on topics ranging from a stout defense of inalienable rights to a presentation of the case for truly colorblind ‘anti-racism.’ I was proud to contribute, myself.”
—Wilfred Reilly, Assistant Professor of Political Sciences, Kentucky State University

“The Independent Institute has provided something rare in today’s overheated, polarized educational landscape—a content-rich, pedagogically astute, and yes, balanced set of instructional resources. Given the political minefield that ethnic studies must inevitably traverse, this is a remarkable achievement.”
—David Steiner, Executive Director, Johns Hopkins Institute for Education Policy; former New York State Commissioner of Education
