You shouldn’t feel like you missed out on real history.
You were taught the wrong history.
Here's what happened: They gave you wars and presidents. They hid the stories of people who looked like you, loved like you, struggled like you. They called it education. It was erasure.
What I do: I find the stories they buried. The Black mathematicians who put us on the moon. The Indigenous women who built empires. The queer pioneers who shaped America. I tell them the way they deserve to be told—raw, real, and impossible to forget.
Why it matters: This isn't about adding diversity to dead history. It's about understanding that you've been lied to about who built this world. Once you know the truth, you can't unknow it. And that changes everything.
Who I am: I'm Jermaine Fowler. I created The Humanity Archive because I got tired of watching people discover their own history through viral posts instead of classrooms. I'm an instant New York Times bestselling author. Vanity Fair, LA Times, NPR, and PBS feature my work because it's time.
Every course here contains the history they thought you couldn't handle. Turns out, you can.
