What does this mean?
Imagine that you are a visitor from outer space-- a professor/teacher from a galaxy far, far away-- and you are visiting the Washington DC area (and Earth)
for the first time in June of 2020. You have "studied" American history by looking closing at this document:
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/08/14/magazine/1619-america-slavery.html (Links to an external site.)
(Please note that, "The 1619 Project" is an interactive text, an overview of the history of slavery and race in America prepared by the New York Times in 2019
to reflect back on the 400 year anniversary of the first enslaved person arriving in New World, in Virginia. There are photos-- and essays. The goal is for
you to explore this work. The New York Times and its reporters won the prestigious Pulitzer Prize in 2019 for this special edition of its Sunday magazine.
Please take some time with it -- it will give you some historical context to our discussion next week of Critical Race Literary Theory. )
