America was founded in 1776 on the idea that 'all men are created equal,' the principle that led to slavery abolition and created the freest nation on Earth.
The Bob Woodson Center and Washington Examiner is offering an alternative to The New York Times and Pulitzer Center’s “1619 Project.” Theirs is aptly named “The 1776 Initiative.”
