History
a) The Ministry of Truth's latest revision of dates, names, books, origins, and art.
b) A tool for the powerful, providing grounding and context to society. The proper role of Minitrue is to revise and frame historical context, where views may be excised or edited as needed to meet the needs of today's society. To better match our lived experience, "our history" must ban offensive statues, monuments, mottos, and documents, and be replaced by more accurate narratives. Exposés, such as the 1619 Project, reveal the Ministry of Truth's approved anti-racist history of America and its struggle for freedom from oppression. These corrections serve to reveal buried truths, such as the fact that the American Revolution was fought to preserve slavery for the powerful, and was not a principled struggle for freedom from the oppression of Great Britain. When government fails to act to correct mal-history, brave individuals or groups must lead the way with acts of resistance.
Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped.
