- What the Freedom Trucks don’t say about American history speaks volumes
The Freedom 250 Mobile Museum, or Freedom Truck, presents a selective narrative of American history by omitting 'shameful episodes' like slavery and the slave ownership of Founding Fathers such as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. The initiative, funded in part by the federal government, is criticized for promoting a 'laudable' and 'heroically exceptional' version of history while leaving out critical facts, with scriptwriting led by Matthew Spalding and Dennis Prager.
