and"1619 Project" creator Nikole Hannah-Jones once again pushed back against critics, this time by claiming that their comments were"not legitimate."
"I mean, you know it's mixed. I think so much of the criticism is not legitimate critique. It's not coming from people who have engaged with the ideas of the project or the work. But at the same time, the more they talk about it just actually helps spread the message, right?" Hannah-Jones responded."I wanted us to know the date 1619, to take that date out of obscurity, and certainly it is not an obscure date anymore.
"There are powerful interests that don’t want us to understand that history, that don’t want us to understand our common struggle. So we’re over here fighting for crumbs and respect while the hierarchy is maintained and stays in place," Hannah-Jones said."The 1619 Project" was recently adapted into a six-part docuseries on Hulu that began airing on Jan. 26.
