DCPS, Selma and the distortion of history

[Anonymous]

Thanks PP, was just going to also point out of what we were actually taught in schools, yet alone movies, about Columbus.

Thanks, PP.

Good summary: "Artful falsehood is more dangerous than artless falsehood, because fewer people see through it."

Lol --- a site with ads from NewsMax is not exactly an unbiased source.

I posted that link and I did not say it was unbiased. It is a site by historians for historians-any decent historian will tell you that all sources are biased. The point of history is interpretation, and all interpretation has a point of view. If you look through the linked page, you will see that it links out to a range of articles from various sources on the topic of the film Selma and the historical event Selma. The articles are presented without editorial comment.
