Geschichtserzählungen, die die Kontinuität von Rassismus und Ungleichheit betonen – wie das #1619Project – werden von Trump und Co. dagegen als „spalterisch“ diffamiert.

While the site claims the organization supports #FreeSpeech, many #professors have recounted enduring campaigns of #harassment after being put on the list. (Nikole Hannah-Jones was placed on it in 2021 because of her work on the #1619Project, after it was announced that she would be a professor at Howard University.)

In 1619, the first enslaved Africans arrived in what would become the U.S. Their forced labor built this nation—but their freedom was never part of the plan.
