Times are chaotic. Tragedies and suffering abound. A frequent question you might be asking yourself is, "How did it all turn out like this?" A closer look at our history shows that what we see now has been decades in the making. You may think you know American history, but what gets taught in schools is usually fraught with bias, distortion, and outright propaganda made to hide this fact.

Join OKC DSA for a 5-part educational series on the real history of the material conditions of the US from the Civil War to the modern day, focusing on the struggles of the working class. Together we'll better understand how we've arrived at the many problems we face today, which will help us figure out how to solve them.
