The 1619 Project retells the history of the U.S. by foregrounding the arrival 401 years ago of enslaved Africans to Virginia. What is the impact of slavery on the country’s founding principles, economy, health care system, educational institutions, popular music and visual representations? Join us for the kick-off of a month plus exploration of the 1619 Project that culminates in the visit of Nikole Hannah-Jones, the Pulitzer Prize winning author of the project.
