I wish more people had read the 1619 Project.

It was pooh poohed as hurting white fee fees.
I wish more people would have read it…

[Deuxcents]

1. I have the book. I've started it and then got distracted and started over again because it's full of historical details

Good reminder to get back to it. Thanks

3. Every sentence is backed up.

It’s a brilliant work that was “disappeared “ by the right. That was swallowed by the country. I cant help but think that we’d be in a different place if we had had ignored the people who made this brilliant work Go Away.
But it worked, so there’s that.

4. Cancel Cultured is what I was looking for. N/T

2. I was subscribed to NYT when they did their tremendous piece on it...

I wish I'd saved it, but it was well done. Yes, to the "hurt feelings" among the RW, but a few clueless on our side too. Nikole Hannah-Jones was unapologetically herself so that may have been an issue (I won't name that specific "aversion," but you know) for some.

But, yes. Very well done and I meant to find the HULU docuseries on it but got distracted with other things. Good reminder.

5. Not familiar with it. PLease say more.

[Tom Dyer]

6. A brilliant history of the slave trade and of hatred in The United States

8. THank you.

7. I read it and watched a Hulu miniseries on it.
