Book Store 20. The 1619 Project by Nikole Hannah-Jones

🔥 Fiercely banned by political groups — but foundational for understanding American history through a new lens.

Expanding on the landmark New York Times initiative, The 1619 Project reframes U.S. history by placing the consequences of slavery and contributions of Black Americans at the center. With essays, poems, and historical analysis, it’s an urgent and necessary read.

Why it was banned: Accused of being "divisive" — but its real power is telling the truth.

Recommended for: Adults, educators, policy makers, and anyone ready to rethink what they thought they knew.
