Friends,
The Museum of Hidden
History has begun. We have applied for our
nonprofit status so donations are already tax-deductible. We set up a website
and a WePay account for online donations. We even got featured on their Donate
page. Here is a description and our updated brochure. Hope to see some more of
you this year! JJ
The Museum of Hidden
History in Washington ,
DC is an exciting new venture which will combine a library, archive, museum and research
center about other perspectives and unknown facts revealing US
history. We define hidden history as what we don't know because of miseducation
and assumptions, what we can't know because of our paradigms and lack of
counter-narratives, and what we are not allowed to know by the National
Security State .
We are excited about our plans to create a first stage
We will be telling stories of American history that you’ve never heard – secrets about powerful figures, operations performed under the radar, and actions hidden from the public, from people like you, that changed our country.
We will be revealing history from many perspectives, including those of women, ordinary people, people of color and others whose voices have yet to be heard and whose stories remain untold. They are part of our real but hidden history.
We will be using new archives, documents and research to re-tell aspects of history that have been lost or distorted, and to inform us about our own history, kept from us for decades but now “declassified” and open to the public.
Our history is in danger of being lost. The true history of
History matters, and access to real history is critical! Our history informs our present and our future, and information is the most important tool in a real democracy.
The Museum of Hidden
History will be a center for anyone who wants to
learn about the hidden or distorted history of US foreign and domestic policies
that led us into our current situation. It will tell the hidden history of –
◊ The inception of the National
Security State
and the Pentagon
◊ The rise of the Military-Industrial-Intelligence Complex
that President Eisenhower warned about
◊ The global rise of corporate power
◊ Government secrecy and emergency plons
◊ American wars, especially since WWII, and the permanent
war economy
◊ Covert operations and wars carried out by US intelligence
agencies
◊ The rise of government spying and violations of
Constitutional rights of citizens
◊ The use of assassination as a tool of political control
both in the US
and abroad
◊ The murders of President Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Malcolm
X, Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr., and others
◊ The COINTELPRO attacks in the 1960’s and 1970’s against
the peace and
civil rights movements, and their renewal after 9/11
◊ The untold history of Native Americans, African Americans
and other people of
color, women and immigrants in America
◊ Popular resistance and movements for social change whose
history is actively
hidden or denied
◊ The struggles of ordinary people to make their voices
heard through the civil
rights, women’s suffrage and labor movements
