Psaki says Howard U 'quite lucky' to have 1619 Project creator Nikole Hannah-Jones
Fox News
The White House weighed in on Tuesday about 1619 Project creator Nikole Hannah-Jones's decision to turn down a tenure offer at the University of North Carolina and instead head to Howard University after long-simmering drama over a lifetime faculty appointment.
"Students at Howard are quite lucky to have her as a professor in their family," Psaki said Tuesday when asked by a reporter whether Hannah-Jones' treatment at UNC was an example of "systemic racism." Psaki said she had not personally talked to President Biden about Hannah-Jones' decision to head to Howard, a historically black college and university (HBCU), but said Biden is committed to tackling systemic racism.
