In your paper this Sunday, 8/18, part of #1619Project, a special print section about the history of slavery told through objects from @NMAAHC’s collection.
After many great and fulfilling years at The Washington Post, I started a new job last month at the NYT. This is my first story. https://t.co/HFNjKsza4A
Blacks people were enslaved in this land longer than we've been free. And our constant plotting for liberation led white Americans to develop a fear of Black people as an "internal enemy" that remains embedded in our national psyche. #1619hulu Ep. 5 FEAR. Out now. @lesliemalex
Thank you @CBSMornings for inviting me to talk about our new #1619Project#1619Hulu docuseries and about why we need to learn the truth of our history to understand our present.
So grateful to @pulitzercenter for their continued educational support of #1619project. Hope you'll watch DEMOCRACY and RACE now on @hulu and engage w/this viewing guide.
Educators and others watching the first two episodes of the #1619Project docuseries on @hulu, our partners at @pulitzercenter have put together excellent viewing guides to help you process and discuss DEMOCRACY and RACE on #1619hulu. https://t.co/CuhKvD12Jx
This is a huge day for me. In 2019 before #1619Project published, we started talking about the possibility of a doc series. And today the series is on @hulu. Being a part of the project w/@nhannahjones has been an honor. Most important work of my life.
So grateful to @nhannahjones and @hulu for this moving take on our African American history (and for not editing out my crack about my Costco Jordans😀).

Starting today, I hope you’ll tune in to the 1619 project, a docu-series hosted by the one-of-a-kind @nhannahjones.
It was my absolute honor to direct episode 104: “Music”. Nikole, thank you for your friendship, trust, and inspiration!
Check it out on Hulu!
And thank you to @jakesilverstein, always, and @ilenasilverman, co-editors with me and @nhannahjones on the book. No one on earth I’d rather be in this work with than the three of you.
In 2019, @NYTmag published The #1619Project, which reframed the history of slavery in America and explored how it touches nearly every aspect of modern life.
A six-part docuseries based on this project premiered on @Hulu today.

“I don’t really have any one way of thinking about the project anymore. What I really see is how the medium of television allows you to reach a far greater audience who wants this information and who will be compelled by the story.” - @nhannahjones https://t.co/Yr5y3dkwGk
