The famous New York Times series has seen its creator write a "1619" book then move to the current production of a six-part documentary on the project.
When The New York Times published "The 1619 Project," Nikole Hannah-Jones was launched into journalism stardom and won the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for her lead essay.
The work looks at the history of America starting not in the year 1776 but in 1619 when the first enslaved Africans were brought to the colonies.
On Up to Date, Hannah-Jones, now a Howard University professor, addressed criticism of work and spoke of the pain and embarrassment of being denied a tenured chair at her alma mater, the University of North Carolina.

The history of man holding others as serfs, slaves goes all the way back to Mesopotamia in 3500BC.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
"The 1619 Project is a long-form journalism endeavor developed by Nikole Hannah-Jones, writers from The New York Times, and The New York Times Magazine which "aims to reframe the country's history by placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions of Black Americans at the very center of the United States' national narrative."[1] The first publication stemming from the project was in The New York Times Magazine of August 2019 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the first enslaved Africans in the English colony of Virginia.[2] These were also the first Africans in mainland British America, though Africans had been in other parts of North America since the 1500s. The project also developed an educational curriculum, supported by the Pulitzer Center, later accompanied by a broadsheet article, live events, and a podcast.[3] On May 4, 2020, the Pulitzer Prize board announced that they were awarding the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for Commentary to project creator Nikole Hannah-Jones for her introductory essay.[4][5]"...

1619 has the same historical accuracy as Game of Thrones. Even a causal look into history shows how flawed her trash s.
