Question: What is the 1619 project in simple terms?
The 1619 project is a 2020 initiative of The New York Times that re-examines the legacy of slavery in the United States from the moment the first enslaved Africans arrived in Virginia in 1619. It seeks to reframe American history by often challenging the view that it began with the American Revolution in 1776. Through podcasts, essays and other media, the project emphasizes that African American history is fundamental to understanding America's story, and showcases stories and contributions that have often been overlooked or minimized.
