THE MISSION OF TRUTH IN PEOPLE'S HISTORY IS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PEOPLE IN POWER AND THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED BY THE POWERFUL HAVE DIFFERENT VIEWS OF THE SAME EXPERIENCE.
WE INTEND TO BRING TO LIGHT INTERPRETATIONS OF REALITY AS PRESENTED BY THE LESS EMPOWERED PARTICIPANTS IN SIGNIFICANT HISTORICAL MOMENTS.
WE PLAN TO SPEAK, WRITE AND SHARE STORIES OF HUMAN STRUGGLES AND RESISTANCE AS SEEN THROUGH THE EYES.OF THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN OPPRESSED FOR REASONS OF RACE, ETHNICITY, CLASS, DISABILITY, GENDER OR RELIGION.
WE RECOGNIZE THAT "FACTS" AND THEIR INTERPRETATION DEPEND ON ONE'S SOCIAL POSITION IN THE REAL WORLD. THE "FACTS" ONE CHOOSES TO PRESENT EITHER SEEK TO UPHOLD EXISTING POWER RELATIONS OR TO CHANGE THEM TO CREATE EQUITABLE CONDITIONS FOR ALL PEOPLE. WE FURTHER RECOGNIZE THAT KNOWLEDGE IS AN ESSENTIAL TOOL IN THE PEOPLE'S STRUGGLE FOR EQUAL POWER.
