1619 | The New York Times

Overview: “In August of 1619, a ship appeared on the horizon near Point Comfort, a coastal port in the English colony of Virginia. It carried over 20 enslaved Africans, who were sold to the colonists. No aspect of the country formed here has been untouched by the years of slavery that followed. On the 400th anniversary of this pivotal moment, it is time to finally truthfully tell our story.

The 1619 Project is an ongoing initiative from The New York Times Magazine that began in August 2019, the 400th anniversary of the beginning of American slavery. It aims to reframe the country’s history by placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions of black Americans at the very center of our national narrative.”
