  • Genius work

    Sawyer D. - 4 years 3 months ago

    Brilliant and masterful. The author is an American gem. Black women are undeniably.

  • A true must read

    Trey Lynn S. - 4 years 7 months ago

    I think all history teachers should read this and hold it tighter than a Bible. Slowly getting through it as it heavy, but this information explains so much of the pain that is still present today

  • Superb

    John H. - 4 years 8 months ago

    Superb scholarly writing. I don’t understand the negative reviews. The truth must be told. The treatment of slaves was horrible —for the most part. History corroborates this account of this story.

  • Commentary Disguised As History

    Sylvanus T. - 4 years 9 months ago

    I would recommend reading this work from the NYT which won an award for "commentary" and not history. It is a typical product of modern liberalisms fascination with and promotion of identity and racialism. While it is undeniable that racism has and continues to play a role in American society, the inability of the upper class of liberal society to recognize class conflict as a defining feature of America, and its insistence on exploiting racial divides (almost as if it does so intentionally) to obscure class divisions. The 1619 Project should be read, discussed, and debated. It should not under any circumstances be seen as a serious work of history, particularly when numerous historians have found substantial factual errors including the facial suggestion that the sole inspiration for the American Revolution was to defend the institution of slavery. In order for this to be true it would mean that England would have been threatening outright abolition of slavery in the colonies, which simply isn't the case. Please search online for the critiques of this work by other scholars, including the work of the WSWS and its interviews with reputable historians who have been recognized for their contributions to American history, rather than for "commentary."

  • I love it!!!

    Temperance M. - 4 years 9 months ago

    A captivating voice given to the many missing stories in history, ALL OUR HISTORY depicting the full chronicle of how we came to be the America of today. This is not revisionist, but an inclusionary work that fills in the essential parts missing from our collective legacy.
