Nikole Hannah-Jones,defends the 1619 Project in fluff interview with the Associated Press
But the AP, which referred to the 1619 Project as "groundbreaking," gave Hannah-Jones a platform to push back on that criticism. The journalist suggested that the backlash to her collection of essays, which was later turned into a book, is proof that U.S. democracy is in jeopardy.
"This year, to me, is just reflective of what I’ve always understood about this country," Hannah-Jones told the AP's Aaron Morrison. "And that is that steps forward, steps towards racial progress, are always met with an intensive backlash. That we are a society that willfully does not want to deal with the anti-Blackness that is at the core of so many of our institutions and really our society itself."
