March 2015 – David Barton, nationally respected Christian historian and founder of WallBuilders, fought three years in court against claims that attacked his character and the character of  the organization he founded. Barton brought suit when two candidates for the Texas State Board of Education said he was “known for speaking at white-supremacist rallies.”

His attackers have now offered a public apology saying, “We understand that this statement suggested that David Barton is a white supremacist, and that the two organizations he is affiliated with, WallBuilders Presentations, Inc. and WallBuilders L.L.C., were associated with or supportive of white supremacists. After learning more about Mr. Barton, we realize this statement was false. We separately and jointly apologize to Mr. Barton… .”

The two also paid Barton $1 million, which Barton gave away.

Barton has also won legal judgment against others who published lies about his veracity and his ministry.
