Help Americans begin learning the true and honest story of America's quest to achieve justice.
With this free online course, you’ll learn how civil rights are supposed to ensure that we are all treated fairly under the law, thus securing our natural rights to life, liberty, and property. And you’ll examine the great challenges to the understanding and pursuit of justice and equality from the American Founding through today.
You may be asking, “Why would Hillsdale College produce this course and offer it for free?”
First, the study of civil rights in America is fundamental to understanding American government. Civil rights in America are essential to the protection of our natural rights and our freedom to lead our daily lives.
Second, the study is urgent because of a growing effort to discredit our nation’s history as irredeemably flawed. This falsehood encourages division, silences free speech, and promotes tearing down and erasing our nation’s history.
The goal is to teach Americans that our limited government and Constitution is incapable of securing just government and to convince us that it must be replaced with a radically different form.
This course will help you confront this false narrative and defend free government in America.
But promoting this new online course nationwide requires significant resources, making your support vital.
