”We asked 16 writers to bring consequential moments in african-american history to life. Here are their poems and stories.”
— New York Times
Den här inspirerande tidslinjen, med afro-amerikansk litteratur från 400 år, hittade vi, som så mycket annat, via LitHub. Tidslinjen är skapad inom ramen för ett ambitiöst projekt:
”The 1619 Project is a major initiative from The New York Times observing the 400th anniversary of the beginning of American slavery. It aims to reframe the country’s history, understanding 1619 as our true founding, and placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions of black Americans at the very center of the story we tell ourselves about who we are.”
