The 1619 Project challenges us to reframe U.S. history by marking the year when the first enslaved Africans arrived on Virginia soil as our nation's foundational date. Inaugurated with a special issue of The New York Times Magazine, the project also comprises a broadsheet, a kids' section of The New York Times, a podcast, an anthology, and an illustrated children's book.
