Michael Zak is the author of Back to Basics for the Republican Party, the acclaimed history of the GOP from the civil rights perspective. From the first page of the book: "As you know, Democrats control most of the media, but they also write most of the history books, thereby controlling what even Republican activists think they know about our Party's glorious heritage."
He is a popular speaker to Republican organizations around the country, showing office-holders, candidates, and activists how they would benefit tremendously from knowing and appreciating our Party's heritage of civil rights achievement. His speeches have received many excellent reviews.
As he says, "The more we Republicans know about the history of our Party, the more the Democrats will worry about the future of theirs."
A Proud Record of Achievement
Mr. Zak emphasizes the fact that our Grand Old Party was established by anti-slavery activists, to oppose the pro-slavery policies of the Democrats. To this day, the Republican Party has an extraordinary, though overlooked, record of achievement in advancing civil rights in the United States and around the world.
