When I speak and teach on racial reconciliation, one resource that I regularly recommend is The 1619 Project. Named for the year when the first ship containing enslaved Africans docked in United States, The 1619 Project provides a deeper historical perspective of the United States by delving into the atrocities of chattel slavery and the deeply ingrained impacts on the United States that are still present today.

Created by Nikole Hannah-Jones in conjunction with The New York Times, The 1619 Project catalogue includes:

• A book written by Hannah-Jones et al. that explores these topics through essays, poetry, and historical records
• A podcast and television series that utilize personal narratives to explore the impacts of American slavery on music, healthcare, and society at large
• A curriculum in conjunction with the Pulitzer Center to empower educators to accurately teach these topics well

The 1619 Project is a gold-standard resource due to its historical accuracy and investigative prowess. The book is also a recipient of the Pulitzer Prize.
