Lies Across America by James W. Loewen
A provocative reassessment of how historical markers, monuments, and textbooks across the United States perpetuate myths and omissions—especially about slavery, Native Americans, Reconstruction, and racial violence—arguing that public memory is often sanitized to defend privilege; through on-site investigations and archival research it documents numerous inaccuracies and misleading commemorations, shows how these lie to the public, and urges communities to replace celebratory or false narratives with honest, inclusive accounts of the past.
