America's Roots: Reframing America's History of Slavery

The 1619 Project: How Slavery Has Defined America Today

The New York Times Magazines 1619 Project attempts to reframe America's History of slavery. 




“The 1619 Project is a major initiative from The New York Times observing the 400th anniversary of the beginning of American slavery. It aims to reframe the country’s history, understanding 1619 as our true founding, and placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions of black Americans at the very center of the story we tell ourselves about who we are.”
