James W. Loewen Foundation
The James W. Loewen Foundation supports the investigation and teaching of racism’s hidden history and its implications for democracy and society, as well as productive public engagement with these challenging histories and legacies.
James W. Loewen was a legendary truth-seeker, storyteller, and teacher. Over his remarkable half-century career, he critiqued and improved textbooks, unearthed and explained lost histories, thought deeply about literacy and teaching, and shared it all with an open hand and a skillful nudge. JWLF is guided by Jim’s core maxim:
“Telling the truth about the past helps cause justice in the present. Achieving justice in the present helps us tell the truth about the past.”
