Acton Line

On June 29, violent riots between alt-right groups and antifa broke out in Portland, Oregon, leaving several people with severe injuries. Portland is becoming a hotbed for violent, left-wing groups. Who is antifa and what are they protesting? Rev. Ben Johnson, senior editor at Acton, joins the podcast to explain the events of the protest and antifa's objective. After that, Craig Bruce Smith, professor of history at William Woods University, joins the show to bring attention to an increasing dismissal of America's founders and how some are trying to erase the founders' legacies from history. America's founders were slaveholders and not without faults. How should we approach this history of slavery in the context of America's founding? Hosted on Acast.
