Nikole Hannah-Jones on 'The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story'

[REBROADCAST FROM December 22, 2021] The 1619 Project from The New York Times was first published in 2019, four hundred years after the first slave ship landed on the shores of the United States. The project aims to create a new framework for how to understand the legacy and present consequences of slavery in the U.S, and was received with high praise or sharp criticism, depending on who you ask. Now, a new book, The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story, expands upon the original published version with new essays and reporting. Creator Nikole Hannah-Jones and New York Times Magazine editor in chief Jake Silverstein are with us to discuss the project.
