Overview

Nikole Hannah-Jones is a MacArthur Fellowship recipient for reshaping national conversations around education reform. This is but one honor in a growing list: She is the creator of the New York Times Magazine's The 1619 Project, about the history and lasting legacy of American slavery. Her powerful introductory essay was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for commentary. She has also won a Peabody Award, two George Polk Awards, and a three-time National Magazine Awards winner. Hannah-Jones covers racial injustice for The New York Times and has spent years chronicling the way official policy has created-and maintains-racial segregation in housing and schools. Her deeply personal reports on the Black experience in America offer a compelling case for more significant equity. Hannah-Jones is the New York Times' major multimedia initiative, The 1619 Project, creator and lead writer. Named for the year the first enslaved Africans arrived in America, the project features an ongoing series of essays and art on the relationship between slavery and everything from social infrastructure and segregation to music and sugar-all by Black American authors, activists, journalists, and more. Hannah-Jones wrote the project's introductory essay, which ran under the powerful headline Our Democracy's Founding Ideals Were False When They Were Written. Black Americans Have Fought to Make Them True. The essay earned Hannah-Jones her first Pulitzer Prize for commentary. Random House has also announced it will be adapting the project into a graphic novel and four publications for young readers while also releasing an extended version of the original publication, including more essays, fiction, and poetry. This book gives you an in-depth look into the biography and timeline progresses of Nikole Hannah Jones for decades. Scroll up and add to Cart Now!
