Coles America's 250 Years of Racism & Atrocities at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC

For 250 years, America has told a story about itself. A story of freedom. A story of equality. A story of progress. But what if that story is incomplete? America's 250 Years of Racism and Atrocities challenges the narrative that has been taught, repeated, and celebrated for generations. From slavery and stolen land to segregation, mass incarceration, and modern-day policy, this book exposes a pattern that has shaped the nation from its founding to the present. Inside, you will uncover:
The contradiction at the heart of 1776
The systematic removal and destruction of Indigenous nations
The economic engine of slavery and its lasting impact
The rise and destruction of Black progress after the Civil War
The era of lynching, racial terror, and silence from the law
Segregation, redlining, and the design of inequality
The role of media and education in shaping perception
The internment of Japanese Americans during wartime
Mass incarceration, the War on Drugs, and modern policing
Immigration enforcement, racial profiling, and systemic bias
The backlash against progress-from Civil Rights to Black Lives Matter
This is not a book about opinion. This is a documented history. Unfiltered. Unapologetic. Uncomfortable. Because a nation cannot truly move forward without first confronting the truth of how it got here. You were taught the whitewashed version of history. The myth. The Propaganda. Here is the TRUTH!
