1619 Project Book

The 1619 Project - A Brief History

While everyone knows about the United States Declaration of Independence and the significance of 4th of July thereafter, did you know that there was a different side to America’s history? A “black” side!?

The 1619 Project is a historical depiction of a country – the greatest country in the world - where slavery was dominating for over two centuries. This short piece of work discusses the role of importance black Americans played on the physical and economic growth of the country, and the part that was kept hidden from young Americans for decades.

Throughout this short book, you will learn and understand: What led to the start of The 1619 Project. The impact of The 1619 Project in the social, political, and educational systems of America. The views of scholars, politicians, teachers, journalists, and other prominent members on The 1619 Project and the history it brings to light. The never-before-known history of the United States. Why some people want the year of America’s independence to be declared as 1619 and not 1776.
