14 agos 2019 anni - The 1619 Project

Descrizione:

The New York Times’ 1619 Project is taking America on a truth-seeking mission. Marking the 400th anniversary of the first slave ship docking on Virginia’s shores, the collection of essays reveal that the story we learned in school, in public life, and even in mainstream media omits many important facts.

As readers turn the pages, they are confronted with a raw, unfiltered and honest discussion about the true origins of the United States of America, not the romanticized version of American history we grew up with. This story, one of brutality, injustice and resiliency is far more difficult to embrace.

Our country is now, finally, beginning to engage in a debate — a debate about what America truly is, who it belongs to, and what it ought to be. By providing a full, unvarnished record of our collective history — including details that are often left from the history books — Nikole Hannah Jones and the authors of the 1619 Project push this debate forward.
