ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The 1619 Project by Nikole Hannah-Jones reexamines the history of the United States, focusing on the year 1619, when the first enslaved Africans arrived in Virginia. It argues that slavery and its legacy have profoundly shaped every aspect of American society, including its economy, politics, and culture. The project blends historical research with creative works, such as essays, poetry, and fiction, to tell the story of Black Americans' contributions and struggles for freedom. It challenges the traditional narrative of American exceptionalism, aiming to provide a deeper understanding of racial inequality and the ongoing fight for justice.
