lukethelibrarian reviewed The 1619 Project by Nikole Hannah-Jones
2022 #FReadom read 1/20
5 stars
I set a #FReadom resolution/reading goal for 2022: I’ll read at least 20 books that have been banned, removed, challenged or threatened in Texas libraries or schools. Book 1/20 was The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story by Nikole Hannah-Jones and many contributors. Compelling scholarship & vision that doesn’t just belong in schools & libraries, it belongs in all readers’ hands. Linda Villarosa’s chapter “Medicine” hit me particularly hard.
