In response to The New York Times\' controversial \\u201c1619 Project,\\u201d Bob Woodson, founder of the Woodson Center, launched an alternative, 1776 Unites


Woodson\'s initiative includes a series of essays and a school curriculum that recount the facts and stories of America\\u2019s founding and black history. It is from these essays that inspiration came for Woodson\\u2019s new book, \\u201cRed, White, and Black: Rescuing American History from Revisionists and Race Hustlers.\\u201d 


The stories and facts in the book, which was released in May, are important \\u201cfor all people to know, to get an accurate understanding of America\'s past\\u2014the good, the bad, and the ugly,\\u201d Woodson says. 


He adds that the \\u201cmessage of the book to America is, if blacks could achieve these great things of creating their own railroad, if we were able to build our own Wall Streets, if we were able to achieve in schools, and reduce the income gap \\u2026 then we need to apply these old values to a new vision.\\u201d 


Woodson joins \\u201cThe Daily Signal Podcast\\u201d to share some of his favorite true stories of American blacks\' success detailed in the book and to share a bit of his own personal story.
