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

informative medium-paced

5.0

(Thank you Random House for the free book.) More than just a book, “The 1619 Project” is an engrossing and transformative elucidation of the necessity to stop sanitizing U.S. history for the comfort of the privileged. The term “essential read” gets thrown around a lot, but here it actually applies.
