SECTION 1



PROJECT
1619




Since 1994 some members of present day Project 1619 Inc. have been telling
the story of our ancestors and their fight for freedom and social justice.
It was on August 25, 1619 that a ship landed at Point Comfort, present day
Fort Monroe in Hampton, Virginia, with the first enslaved Africans brought
to English North America. Their landing would be the gateway to 246 years
of bondage, 100 years of Jim Crow, segregation, denial of Civil Rights,
unfair housing, redlining, lack of equal education, unfair employment
practices, police profiling and unfair incarceration polices. The list goes
on and on. From 1619 our ancestors and for the past 401 years black and
brown people have suffered the indignity of racial injustice because of the
color of their skin. We have gone from whippings, torture, mutilations,
castration, hanging, beatings, water hosed, and bitten by dogs – ALL LEGAL.
Now in addition to racial profiling we have a knee on our necks.

THE
1619
PROJECT




The 1619 Project is an ongoing initiative from The New York Times
Magazine that began in August 2019, the 400th anniversary of the
beginning of American slavery.

It aims to reframe the country’s history by placing the consequences
of slavery and the contributions of black Americans at the very center
of our national narrative.
