==History ==
{{plain image with caption|File:McGraw-Hill logo 1964.svg|McGraw-Hill logo used from the mid-1960s to the late 1990s|150px}}
McGraw Hill was founded in 1888 when [[James H. McGraw]], co-founder of the company, purchased the ''American Journal of Railway Appliances''. He continued to add further publications, eventually establishing The McGraw Publishing Company in 1899. His co-founder, [[John A. Hill]], had also produced several technical and trade publications and in 1902 formed his own business, The Hill Publishing Company.<ref>https://www.encyclopedia.com/books/politics-and-business-magazines/mcgraw-hill-inc</ref>

In 1909, the two co-founders formed an alliance and combined the book departments of their publishing companies into an incorporated company called The McGraw-Hill Book Company.<ref>https://www.encyclopedia.com/books/politics-and-business-magazines/mcgraw-hill-inc</ref> John Hill served as president, with James McGraw as vice-president. The remaining parts of each business were merged into The McGraw-Hill Publishing Company, Inc in 1917.<ref name="mcgraw-history0">{{cite web | title=About Us: Corporate History: The Foundation | url=http://www.mcgraw-hill.com/aboutus/history.shtml | access-date=May 26, 2007 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070505102210/http://www.mcgraw-hill.com/aboutus/history.shtml | archive-date=May 5, 2007 | df=mdy-all }}</ref>

==Controversies==
In 1980, McGraw-Hill paid the African American writer and civil rights activist [[James Baldwin]] a $200,000 advance for his unfinished book ''Remember This House'', a memoir of his personal recollections of civil rights leaders [[Medgar Evers]], [[Malcolm X]] and [[Martin Luther King Jr.]]<ref name=mcgrawhill>[https://www.nytimes.com/1990/05/19/books/mcgraw-hill-drops-baldwin-suit.html "McGraw-Hill Drops Baldwin Suit"]. ''[[The New York Times]]'', May 19, 1990.</ref> Following his death, the company sued his estate to recover the advance they had paid him for the unfinished book. The lawsuit was dropped by the company in 1990, citing a desire not to cause distress to Baldwin's family.

In October 2015, McGraw-Hill Education was accused of [[whitewash (censorship)|whitewashing]] history after it published a caption in a geography textbook referring to [[Slavery in the United States|American slaves]] as "[[laborer|workers]]".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://time.com/4060687/mcgraw-hill-slavery-trade-textbook/ |title=Textbook Company to Update Description of Slaves as 'Workers' After Criticism |last1=Basu |first1=Tanya |date=October 4, 2015 |work=[[Time (magazine)|Time]] |access-date=October 5, 2015}}</ref> The company quickly apologized, updated the digital version of the materials, and offered schools replacement texts at no charge.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/06/us/publisher-promises-revisions-after-textbook-refers-to-african-slaves-as-workers.html |title=Publisher Promises Revisions After Textbook Refers to African Slaves as 'Workers' |last1=Hauser |first1=Christine |date=October 5, 2015 |work=[[The New York Times]] |access-date=October 5, 2015}}</ref> It has been linked to broader controversies about texts at the [[Texas Education Agency#Curriculum controversies|Texas Education Agency]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cnn.com/2015/10/04/living/mcgraw-hill-slavery-textbook-mom-complaint-feat/ |title=McGraw-Hill to rewrite textbook after mom's complaint |last1=Mcafee |first1=Melonyce |date=October 4, 2015 |publisher=[[CNN]] |access-date=October 5, 2015 |quote=Texas has been a battleground in the fight over changes to textbooks that some say concede too much ground to conservative viewpoints on subjects such as climate change, religious liberty and slavery.}}</ref>
