#1619Project rocks!
I like to feel like I’m reasonably well-informed about history and about racial issues, but Dr. Hannah-Jones' compilation was jammed with novel - and heart-breaking - information for me.
These scholars, authors, and poets bring the receipts. I'm just flabbergasted at the number of degreed, bad actors providing pushback. The hacks, I get.
Wish we could lure NHJ to Mastodon!
@bigbadboxbook I’ve read some of the backlash, smh. Glad you enjoyed it.
