The 1619 Project with Nikole Hannah-Jones at MLK Library

The New York Times Magazine’s award-winning 1619 Project issue reframed our understanding of American history by placing slavery and its continuing legacy at the center of our national narrative. Watch this talk with Pulitzer Prize-winning creator, Nikole Hannah-Jones in partnership with Mahogany Books.
In conversation founder of Well Read Black Girl founder Glory Edim, they explore the legacy of slavery in present-day America and show how the inheritance of 1619 reaches into every part of contemporary American society, from politics, music, diet, traffic, and citizenship to capitalism, religion, and our democracy itself.

Nikole is The Realest! I Love how she shows up. She is authentic in all spaces. In a time when true journalism is almost non-existent, its refreshing when journalist do the hard work-the real work!! And she does it being unapologetically black!!! ⚡

You don't get standing ovations for stealing people's work.

[@lizmaysonet2661]

Care to explain. Idk who she is, so who did she steal from? I genuinely like to know.

[@steviewarren-3dservicesinc]

I’m always leary, now a days, when a woman endorse anything. However, I will have more confidence when she submits to God entirely and stop leaning into her own understanding. If she would admit, the things she champions, are emotionally driven, rather than, spiritually guided. This recognizes and confirms the place Gods advice and recommendations play in her choices.
