Why have legislatures in more than 40 states banned or considered banning the use of The 1619 Project in schools? What are they afraid of? Who is behind this effort? How do these efforts intersect with mass media coverage of education and politics? What is the historical context for these efforts? What are the implications for the future health of our democracy? Join us to explore all of these questions in “Who’s Afraid of the 1619 Project?” $50 - $99

In this four-session course, we will explore the meteoric rise of American chattel slavery from 1619-1861 through economic, historical, legal, political, religious and scientific lenses provided in the book 400 Souls, edited by Ibram Kendi and Keisha Blain. We will then apply these lenses to increase our understanding of the current racially polarized historical moment. $50 - $99
