I’m just now getting to this, but this was damn good. What I’ve loved about the debate around the #1619Project is how it is bringing to the public a greater understanding of how history/historiography works, and that there’s never been such a thing as “objective” history. twitter.com/thetattooedpro… pic.twitter.com/2zfFPvtQDR

In Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States", he explicitly starts off by noting how no historical text are purely objective, as much as the author may genuinely try to make the assertion.
I wonder how many of your critics have acknowledged this.

The author of that piece is remarkably unaware that his own ideological disposition is substantially stronger than any of the historians he criticizes or dismisses.
