Democracy and "The 1619 Project": In Conversation with Nikole Hannah-Jones

What is democracy? What is freedom? What do these ideas mean to individuals, to communities?

Join Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones in conversation with Howard University constitutional law professor Lisa Crooms-Robinson to explore democracy through the lens of "The 1619 Project," the award-winning reframing of American history that placed slavery and its continuing legacy at the center of our national narrative.

The event is organized by the Howard University School of Law, Howard's Cathy Hughes School of Communications, the Pulitzer Center, and Penguin Random House.

This event will focus on “Democracy,” chapter 1 of "The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story," as the first of six culminating events of "The 1619 Project Read Along: A Classroom Without Walls,” launched in October 2022.
