A New Origin Story by Nikole Hannah-Jones and The New York Times Magazine
This book, published in 2021, is an extension of The New York Times Magazine’s award-winning “1619 Project” issue. It weaves together 18 essays that explore America’s legacy of slavery dating back to 1619, as well as 36 poems and works of fiction that highlight Black struggle, oppression and resistance over the course of our nation’s history. The book illuminates the glossed-over truth behind our nation’s origin story and its far-reaching effect on modern politics, music, diet, traffic, citizenship, capitalism, religion, and even democracy itself. The message of the book is clear: the legacy of slavery did not end with emancipation, but continues to shape contemporary American life.
