STARLIT—One might ask HAS BILL BENNETT been working on our NEW HISTORY BOOKS FOR WHEN WE HAVE THE NEW AWAKE COUNTY?
Has he been working behind the scenes for CIC TRUMP?

America: The Last Best Hope
In a democracy like the United States, knowledge of history is vital. Yet we face a great threat to our national identity today: most American students nearing voting age know startlingly little about the foundational democratic principles and ideals that comprise the history of this nation. Few others understand this challenge better than Dr. William J. Bennett. Bennett, former U.S. Education Secretary and chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities, concern about the gap between the fascinating American story and the poor way that history is often taught in schools inspired him to lead the charge in creating engaging curriculum. His project, America: The Last Best Hope, breaks convention to “recapture the glory” and the “conviction about American greatness and purpose.” Widely renowned as one of America’s best storytellers, Dr. Bennett’s textbooks are written as an engaging and interesting narrative, focusing on stories about historical figures rather than an analytical study to help shape the next generation of informed citizens. Dr. Bennett enlisted the help of Sagamore Institute to get The Last Best Hope into Indiana classrooms.

About THE 1619 PROJECT

A dramatic expansion of a groundbreaking work of journalism, The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story offers a profoundly revealing vision of the American past and present.

In late August 1619, a ship arrived in the British colony of Virginia bearing a cargo of twenty to thirty enslaved people from Africa. Their arrival led to the barbaric and unprecedented system of American chattel slavery that would last for the next 250 years. This is sometimes referred to as the country’s original sin, but it is more than that: It is the source of so much that still defines the United States.

The New York Times Magazine’s award-winning “1619 Project” issue reframed our understanding of American history by placing slavery and its continuing legacy at the center of our national narrative. This new book substantially expands on that work, weaving together eighteen essays that explore the legacy of slavery in present-day America with thirty-six poems and works of fiction that illuminate key moments of oppression, struggle, and resistance. The essays show how the inheritance of 1619 reaches into every part of contemporary American society, from politics, music, diet, traffic, and citizenship to capitalism, religion, and our democracy itself.

This is a book that speaks directly to our current moment, contextualizing the systems of race and caste within which we operate today. It reveals long-glossed-over truths around our nation’s founding and construction—and the way that the legacy of slavery did not end with emancipation, but continues to shape contemporary American life.

Dubbed “The Story of America,” the new project is the result of a combined effort between Bennett, businessman and philanthropist Richard Collins, and Kathleen Leos, who served as assistant deputy secretary & director of the office of english language acquisition in the U.S. Department of Education.
