Nikole Hannah-Jones on THE 1619 PROJECT
\u201cBut we all want to see ourselves in a story of our country. And we call this\xa0a\xa0new origin story, not\xa0the\xa0origin story for reason. There are many origin stories; every person wants to feel a part of the narrative of our country.\u201d Nikole Hannah-Jones is a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist, a recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship (a.k.a. The Genius Grant), the\xa0Knight Chair in Race and Journalism at Howard University,\xa0and the driving force behind the revelatory, necessary 1619 Project. She joins us on the show to talk about the evolution of The 1619 Project from\xa0The New York Times\xa0magazine to book form; the book\u2019s extraordinary contributors, a veritable who\u2019s who of\xa0historians, poets, novelists, cultural critics, filmmakers, activists, playwrights, academics, and journalists; the conversations we can\u2019t have on Twitter, and more. Produced/hosted by Miwa Messer and engineered by Harry Liang.
