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

challenging dark emotional informative inspiring reflective sad slow-paced

5.0

This is the most important book I will ever read. So much of it is viscerally painful to learn, especially when I reflect on the fact that I’m learning so much about Black history as an adult that I should’ve been taught as a child in school. It is truly paradigm shifting. I really think that this book has the power to change hearts and minds if people give it a chance. I have nothing negative to say. I feel confident that this book will be mandatory classroom reading within my lifetime.
