This landmark work reframes America’s origin story around its original sin — slavery — and centers the Black experience as the heartbeat of the nation’s story. Through essays, poems, and data, The 1619 Project demands that we confront how the past is still alive in our laws, streets, and consciousness. It’s not revisionist — it’s restorative.
