Your History Class Was a F*cking Lie by Sean Sherman
(Or: How the American Educational System Has Always Been a Racist Propaganda Program)
Read on Substack👉This is all why I’m working on building NOMOAR — the National Online Museum of American Racism. (in my spare time that is). Not to just “educate” but to interrupt the dangerous narratives we have all been duped as truths and to create not only an archive, but also a much need mirror of American identity.
NOMOAR is what happens when we stop waiting for school boards and start telling the truth ourselves. Education doesn’t need a monetary component we can start by teaching truths at home and giving our children the tools to critically think for themselves when presented with alternative perspectives and untruths.
My Vision:
Crowdsourced local history maps. Zoom into your hometown and see the redlining maps, the sundown town signs, the massacre sites, the stolen land deeds and any narrative worth sharing so we may never forget.
User-submitted exhibits — family stories, archival documents, oral histories, newspaper clippings — all validated by community, not just institutions.
Interactive timelines that connect racist laws, uprisings, acts of resistance, and how they relate to today’s policies.
Virtual and traveling exhibits that can reeducate Americans everywhere and challenge the status quo of the whitewashed histories we have been force fed for so long.
Tools for teachers and organizers — truth packs to bring real history into classrooms, workshops, or kitchen tables.
This isn’t about replacing a physical museum in D.C. It’s about building one that actually tells the truth — and lives in your pocket.
Because if we’re not documenting these truths now, they’ll get erased again.
We can’t afford another generation raised on lies and we definitely can’t remain silent as we watch entire histories get silenced for the comfort of white people.
Want to help build the NOMOAR platform? I created a GoFundMe to raise funds to create the base website, but it will need immense help to become reality. So what can you do outside of donating?
Just reach out and let’s start a conversation. The only way to Make America Great Again is to be truthful with our past and move forward with understanding and empathy.
Oh and Fuck Trump…
