A review by purplepenning
The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story by Nikole Hannah-Jones

challenging informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

This is definitely not the anti-American screed I was told to expect, and you should certainly read it. Maybe more than once. The audiobook is also excellent if you want to pump it directly into your ears.
