We are simply presenting a more realistic
perspective on American history. A more inclusive history that
matches the reality of life. In turn it is our hope that we can
have a positive response to the negativism about people of color
and women.
We also hope to do our part in helping young
people be proud of who they are, thereby giving them hope for
their personal futures and thus making them better citizens.
How do we do our little part in giving hope?
By exposing the truth about American history and
thereby letting children of color know that their fore-fathers and
fore-mothers also helped to make America great. This web site is
also for people who want to have a positive America, a place where
FREEDOM truly rings, a place where talent matters, not color, not
gender, not creed. A country of respect for humanity and one that
truly lives by "In God We Trust".
We believe if your history is non-existent or
negative, then so is your culture and so are you. Regardless of
all the double speak out there today, it's that simple. If you
know that you are important, you will behave as if your important,
(because we ALL are important).
It is said that history is written by the
"Victors", and thus they have the right to write history as they
see fit. So be it, but this does not negate the TRUTH or the
contributions of great American women and American minorities!
True history never goes away, it just sometimes
gets buried, but is always waiting to be discovered!! Remember,
just because some self righteous person says its the truth, does
not make it the truth. Do your homework, go to the library, (the
web is free to use at the library, as well as their books are free
to read). They have legitimate and scholarly books to check out
and read. There really is no excuse for ignorance in today's
world.
Many people think history is not important but
every decision you make is based partially upon personal
historical experiences and your culture. And if that culture is
slanted and tells only one side of the story, you have a slanted
view on life. This probably works for some, but it hurts millions
of other people, and thereby creates conflict. It is our mission
to hopefully stop some of that hurt and reduce conflict. We hope
to stop that hurt by making people aware of their history and thus
proud to be who they are.
Human beings need positive mentors, positive
history and positive role models and that is the "CORE" reason for
this web site.
Believe it! When people know their true history,
they respect themselves, have less anger and more hope and thus
become positive members of society. This in turn creates an
environment where more people respect each other, creating a place
of peace, hopefulness and creativity. All essential elements
needed for a thriving and productive society.
Knowledge is power!!
