Discussion Questions:
1-What new information did you learn from the videos? Did anything surprise you?
2-What do you think Hannah-Jones means when she calls Black Americans “the true perfectors of American democracy”?
3-What is the role of journalism in shaping national memory?
4-These resources explore under-reported stories of Black Americans’ contributions to the U.S. and also examine the lasting impact of American slavery on contemporary systems in the United States. As of late many Americans are questioning the 1619 Project accuracy. Despite the controversy, I want you to take what you have learned and think about some of the consequences of slavery, and make a list of present situations that can be traced back to it.
