Summary: "The animating idea of The 1619 Project is that our national narrative is more accurately told if we begin not on July 4, 1776, but in late August of 1619, when a ship arrived in Jamestown bearing a cargo of twenty to thirty enslaved people from Africa. The 1619 Project tells this new origin story, placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions of Black Americans at the center of the story we tell ourselves about who we are as a country. Orchestrated by the editors of The New York Times Magazine, led by journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones, this collection of essays and historical vignettes includes the work of some of the most outstanding journalists, thinkers, and scholars of American history and culture"-- Provided by publisher.
