Erased Histories

"Erased Histories: When Remembering Becomes Resistance" when the truth threatens power?From the explosive leak of the Pentagon Papers to the government's deadly encounters at Ruby Ridge and Waco, and from the assassination of Black Panther leader Fred Hampton to the destruction in Oklahoma City and the Capitol siege-Erased Histories weaves together a powerful narrative of the moments that America's institutions would rather we forget.This provocative and meticulously researched work explores how collective memory is weaponized-and how forgetting is often encouraged by those in control. Drawing on the spirit of Howard Zinn and other radical historians, this book challenges official narratives and asks readers to consider: Why was Fred Hampton, a 21-year-old activist, targeted by the state?What truths did the Pentagon Papers reveal about the Vietnam War-and how were they buried?How did federal overreach and media framing shape the tragedies at Waco and Ruby Ridge?What links lie beneath America's "lone wolf" violence, from Oklahoma City to the Capitol insurrection?Erased Histories makes the case that remembering isn't just about honoring the past-it's about resisting systems of erasure in the present. For those who believe history is written by the victors, this book offers a sharp counterpoint: history is also contested by the vigilant.If you've ever questioned the official version of events, this book is for you. For students of history, truth-seekers, activists, and everyday citizens-it's time to uncover what's been hidden. Because memory is power-and remembering is resistance.
