      A A Personally, I love fiction, just not when it pretends to be history Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/06/24 Full Review Josh H Flase revisionist history. Not a good work even if you understand that it's all fiction. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/24 Full Review Dr. Jeffrey K. O. T This season was fantastic. We should have this information taught in history in all schools. People need to learn this history so that they may be kinder to their fellow humans. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/28/23 Full Review Kelli T The 1619 Project was a fantastic exploration into the history of the United States, The stories are a raw gritty painful truth. Until the facts are acknowledged and the implications of these actions examined we will never eradicate this disease called racism.

      Keeanga Yamahtta-Taylor New Yorker Nikole Hannah-Jones’s documentary series offers a damning portrait of American racism, but its emphasis on the past at times obscures the complexity of the present. Mar 2, 2023 Full Review Peyton Robinson RogerEbert.com The 1619 Project is both celebratory and searing. Rated: 3/4 Jan 28, 2023 Full Review Judy Berman TIME Magazine Anyone who follows the news will be familiar with many issues the series addresses, which makes some episodes feel a bit remedial. But at its best, The 1619 Project makes astute—and highly personal—connections... Jan 27, 2023 Full Review Ty'Kira Smalls Common Sense Media Hannah-Jones has an authentic, intentional interviewing style.
