We are pleased to have CLU professor of political science Gregory K Freeland, PHD to discuss The 1619 Project, which is a long-form journalism endeavor developed by Nicole Hannah-Jones, the New York Times and the New York Times magazine. It investigates the origins of the slave trade in America and how it has shaped what the country would become.

Dr. Freeland’s presentation will help jumpstart a much greater in detail analysis of this major work. He will provide a foundation for a better understanding the diaspora of enslaved people from Africa.
