Abstract | On 20 August 2019, The 1619 Project was published in observance of the 400 years that had elapsed since the first enslaved Africans had been forcibly transported to and sold in the colony of Virginia. In reconceiving 1619 – rather than 1776 – as the nation’s true founding, this essay series envisages slavery as pivotal to the nation that would become the United States. The 1619 Project has provoked praise, debate, and controversy among historians and other commentators. This ongoing commentary has transformed The 1619 Project into something of a cultural and political reference point for discussions about history as much as current affairs in the United States. |
