  • “The 1619 Project”, named for the year the first enslaved African people arrived on the shores of Virginia, began as an editorial franchise for the New York Times. It has since grown to include the best-selling book, a children’s picture book, class curriculum, a podcast, and now, a new Hulu documentary series. The body of work asks us to reexamine and reframe what we know to be true of U.S. history. “The books that have stuck with me most in my life are the ones that have unsettled me,” says Nikole Hannah-Jones. Since its inception, “The 1619 Project” has faced a relentless firestorm of calls for its ban -- from school libraries, state senates, and even the Trump White House. “Countries do great things, and countries do terrible things, and we have to deal with it all,” says Hannah-Jones. Being exposed to new ideas and information is in fact, “the purpose of an education.”

      Unfortunately, it has usually turned out that those who are most aware of history are most doomed to repeat it. This fact is probably the primary thing responsible for most of our wars.

    To me, the teaching of "CRT" is the same as understanding your health history, and what your ancestors died from. These represent risks to your own health and will help you make positive life style changes and better monitor your well being. Your mother died in her thirties of breast cancer? Any woman who can say that should be following a more active surveillance regimen at an earlier date related to her susceptibility to that disease. You don't think of that as making you "responsible" for your mother's death, its just an artifact of who you are and where you came from. We seem to be able to accept that, which makes it all the more curious as to why we cannot do the same thing with racism. Racism is an indisputable and present condition that continues to underpin social practice, policy and structure. It may not be who you are as a person but without question, it is who Americans are as a people. Trying to suppress honesty and transparency about this is, in effect, a racist act. Those who say that our children will "feel responsible for slavery" underestimate their children. They will learn that bigotry, cruelty, and inequity has a long history here with those who came before and happens here to this day because a lack of awareness, vigilance and understanding.

    And what about exposing young readers & students about the "true"meaning of Thanksgiving.....

    This reminds me of Aleksander Solzhenitsyns' "Archipelago" in that it's a historical journalistic work that chronicled the brutality of the Soviet Union. Solzhenitsyn was a political dissident who was sent to the "gulag" for years, and he talked about their lives and how they were abused. It was a long book, but it had principles that still apply. Human nature doesn't change. He won the Nobel Prize for Literature and donated the money. My understanding last I checked was that many Russians haven't even read his work's. He was celebrated in the Western world.

    • @ms.harris807

      Hundreds of white people not historians. White people want to be seen as good and that is not the truth. When white people emotionally grow up then America can be great. White fear is the problem and the narrative proves to be a figment and a lie. Black people are the daily reminders of white people's crimes against humanity. Black people have always seen white people clearly and accurately and now old white people don't want their children to give them the side eye that they deserve. They sure don't want to have to explain. America is not exceptional because white people don't want it to be unless they can be artificially in front. Level playing fields don't support the white supremacy fantasy and white people feel better when they don't have to look in the mirror without lying. The 1619 Project does just that. Holds a focused mirror in white people's faces and calls out their wrong and their lies. FYI: Martin Luther King wasn't talking about Black and white kumbaya in his I Have A Dream spoech. He indicted white America and encouraged to Black people to keep on keeping on. Most of those that have the nerve to quote him never read the entire speech. The paragraph y'all love to quote was talking about HIS children in particular. White people try to use it in their anti-Black campaign. Y'all are exactly what your ancestors were and you prove it every time you open your mouths. How Black Americans were and are treated is not debatable and no lie was detected. Not one critic spoke about what she wrote didn't happen, that their is no evidence to support her project or that she is lying about the treatment by white people in America. Until y'all get up off your flat azzes and correct your mess, you're never going to live down the shame and disgust that your invented white superiority brought without cause. Just evil and greed will always be your legacy. Y'all can pretend but the entire melanated majority knows the truth, the whole truth and nothing but. You're making a bed that future white people will sleep in. Just so you know.

    Banned books are nothing new in America, but often it is just a subject that comes up in September every year, for "Banned Book Week." As a former bookstore owner and librarian, I felt honor bound to display the ridiculous number of classics, including different versions of the Bible, which have been banned by some school board or demanded to be withdrawn from a library. And it's true. People would walk away from these displays with stacks of books they never read otherwise. People like to make up their own minds about books and that is exactly what some people want to prevent. What's next? Nazi-style book burnings? I am pining on my I Read Banned Books button for good.

Here is a very concrete example: The ghettos of the inner cities were create by specific things: 1. government policies which provided lower cost home loans, and excluded blacks for around 30 years, 2. and financial institutions that refused to let blacks live among whites in many areas. Those were institutional practices, not all white people. That particular government back housing support was put in place 1934. But that was enough to create a generation of white homeowners.

Instead it's used to say, "We're still oppressed by the 'System'...just like in 1619! We're still victims in 2023." And the victimization of African Americans continues.
