Truth in Service of Freedom

The Fact-Based Intervention for Black America

Evidence-based articles, outcome-based rankings, a verified history game, daily facts, a newsroom, and a public corrections log — one record, every claim sourced. Where the evidence is settled we say so plainly; where serious researchers disagree we label it contested and show the disagreement.

The library

Browse by category

The evidence base, organized across ten categories. Each article carries its sources and a settled-or-contested status, and cross-links to the related ranking, dataset, and trivia.

The standard

No fabricated data — ever.

Every statistic, ranking input, fact, and trivia answer comes from a real, citable source or is clearly marked Data pending — never an invented number. Rankings score leaders only on outcomes the office actually controls; contested causal claims live in separate, clearly-labeled analysis, never as hidden scoring weights. That honesty is the whole product.
