Something strange is going on with The New York Times and its 1619 Project.
By now, you’ve probably heard of the 1619 Project. It Âbegan as a special issue of the Times’ Sunday magazine to mark the 400th anniversary of African slaves being brought to the Jamestown colonies. But it’s become a multiplatform, multimedia moveable feast with saturation coverage and promotion. Oprah Winfrey is going to Âdevelop it for film and television. It’s being incorporated into curricula from grade schools to universities through the Pulitzer Center. Not surprisingly, it won a Pulitzer Prize (the center and the prize are unrelated). Or rather, the lead author and Âdirector of the project, Nikole Hannah-Jones, won in the commentary category.
