"Barton pointed out African-American leaders of the past often praised both Presidents Washington and Jefferson as champions of civil rights for blacks.
“It is striking when you look at the people who looked to Washington and Jefferson as inspirations,” said Barton. “For example, Dr. Martin Luther King praised Jefferson, as did Frederick Douglass, Henry Highland Garnett, Benjamin Banneker and many other African Americans who were the premier civil rights leaders in their generation. The difference between today’s generation and previous ones is that Americans today by and large no longer know American history based on historical fact. Instead, they are simply taught a version of it based on progressive political agendas.”"
