Historian Dr. Gerald Horne joins us to unpack his book The Counter-Revolution of 1776, showing how America’s Revolution was less about freedom and more about preserving slavery. We explore the hidden truths of U.S. history, how they shape today’s struggles over race, power, and democracy, and what it will take to create real change.
