| Abstract | The "New York Times" Magazine published its "1619 Project" in August 2019 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the landing of the first Africans in the English colony of Virginia. The project is a collection of essays and artwork that argue that the legacy of American slavery can be seen today in areas as disparate as traffic patterns in Atlanta, sugar consumption, health care, incarceration, the racial wealth gap, American capitalism, and reactionary politics. The Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting produced reading guides for all 18 essays of the 1619 Project designed to help students read a text with particular questions in mind. Each guide contains an excerpt or two from the essay, key terms, and two to three questions about the essay and have been used in classrooms across the United States. However, Lucas Morel argues that the 1619 Project is a political project riddled with factual errors and its theories on capitalism should not be conflated as an accurate historical account. He further argues that only complete and accurate histories belong in classroom curricula, and thus, the 1619 Project must not be taught as history in our schools. (ERIC). |
