1836: The Texas White Guy History Project

TLDR: Texas House Bill 2497, better known as the 1836 Project, was a bill created in June 2021 by the Texas House of Representatives and was signed into law by Greg Abbott, the Governor of Texas.

My goal: to interrogate that pernicious relationship between state-sanctioned “patriotic education” projects like this one and white supremacy. It’s a lot. This is a public episode.
