The Trump administration has released a pamphlet called ‘The 1776 Report’, the final report of a civic education committee released last year on Martin Luther King Jr. Trump announced the Commission of 1776 in September 2020 to promote ‘patriotic education’, and the report released on Monday is the culmination of his effort. In the new report, the administration mentions its opponent The New York Times” 1619 Project ”, a series of historical journalism and essays proposing the founding of the United States, not as the 1776 Constitutional Convention, but rather as the first attack by a slave ship on American shores in 1619. The title essay of the project won the Pulitzer Prize in 2020 for Commentary. The “1776 Report” material reads: “By using bitterness and judgment, distorted histories of people like Howard Zinn or the journalists behind the ‘1619 project’ prevented their students from learning to think inductively with a rich repository. of cultural, historical and literary references … They despise today’s students, just as they doubt the humanity, goodness, or benevolence in America’s greatest historical figures. The pamphlet also warns against a ‘shadow government’ in parts that Pres. Donald Trump’s own evidence – free warnings against ‘the deep state’ reflect and compare contemporary racist activists to defenders of slavery. The Trump booklet says, “There are indeed strange similarities between 21st-century identity politics activists and 19th-century apologists for slavery.”
