"Education Leads to Liberation": Nikole Hannah-Jones on The 1619 Project & Teaching Black History
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 сер 2024
- As attacks on the teaching of Black history escalate in Florida and other states, we hear from The New York Times journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones, who won a Pulitzer Prize for her work on "The 1619 Project." She spoke on May 19 at the Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center, which is housed in the former Audubon Ballroom in New York where Malcolm X was assassinated in 1965, and talked about the impact Malcolm X's writing had on her life, as well as the importance of teaching the full history of the United States. "What we commonly call history is actually memory, and that memory in the United States has been shaped too often by white men in power who want us to remember the history of a country that never existed," she said.

Education is a powerful tool!!
Grassroot of creativity, purpose and possibility..just to name a few✌️
You could say, 1619 was the beginning of the end for slavery on a global scale. Slavery was a fixture throughout history until the Royal Navy and Union soldiers ended it. Grouping all white people together is an insult for what all those other white people did to end this scourge. And guess what, slavery is again rearing its ugly head in Africa.
In regards to slavery: religion was and is one of main contributors to slavery.
You may be right about the world religions that tried assimilating people into their beliefs while eradicating the beliefs and cultures of people around the world. No prophet would have wanted that. Jesus, and the people who were tortured and killed by powerful people and their militaries, could not have wanted the destructive colonization and forced influence that world religions are built on today.
Main contributors to ending it in America I agree
Education🎓 leads to liberation - words of 🏆gold! 😊
What beauty lies in the truth of American history on all sides.
Thank you, Nichole Hannah-Jones and Amy Goodman and Team Democracy now for the truth of those for social justice.
Mental slavery is taking its toll on all of us. Got to teach Civics and spirituality. Work on intellect and logic. Use skill instead of emotion. Lead by examples Teaching people how to deal with you. Mutual respect common ground and trust
I agree…. Unfortunately, it’s too late. I’m not trying to sound like a defeatist, just being realistic.

Wasn't a bunch of this debunked?
@@jamman9569 NO! JUST ONE WORD, "ALL" TO "SOME." I love that she said they miss that word, and made the change. Then, wrote the book and found out that she was right through her research, which she footnote. READ THE BOOK!
Remember you learn that Columbus discovered America for two centuries. WHAT SAY YOU ABOUT THOSE HISTORIANS? Make it make sense!
Damn. She is soooo brilliant
Thank you Nikole Hannah Brown

Is she? Apparently she didn't take it well when a lot of Historians debunked the 1619 Project.
Are we aware of how many people, adults as well as kids, in the USA want education but it is not available to them? All the schools in the country are not willing or able to help them. We need our communities to build and run their own schools, and let everybody come to learn. I want all kinds of education to be available to all people who need it. I myself want education, and I am willing to stand alongside any and every kind of people and learn with them.
so true, but, does this sister understand this ? if she does , than where is the homeschool seminar or coop seminar for edu ?
When one wants to learn, learn outside of the box of elite schools, and if one is fortunate enough to attend, choose your professors wisely and do the same.
My opportunity came from reading many books and writers and independent journalists, for I never attended college. Our public educational system had many problems, except for the dedication of teachers who tried,
and then our higher education of elite colleges were bought out .Why?
Complex answers to these questions . Look at our student debt loans.
Students that parents paid to get their children in by paying people in a web of money, and others lost their opportunity to attend who may have been more qualified.
Greed is greed.
Knowledge is power!!❤

@@NSOcarth It is curious to me (but actually not really) how many white people are quick to say "my family didn't own slaves and I had nothing to do with it" which may be true, but they are quick to come to the defense of chattel slavery as you have. While any slavery is repugnant with people like Tippu Tip however, Europeans took slavery to a unheard of level. Chattel slavery took apart a man's family, name, religion, rape of the mother, daughter, wife, child, sister, and many times son or brother. Denied education, literacy by fear of death, and sanctioned by local, state, and federal government. This is the true horror and distinction between the few
elite Africans and European slavery practices. Very demonic you would have to agree, ( or maybe you would not)...
We did not land on Plymouth rock Plymouth rock landed on us*
Thank you 🌎✊🗽🌹
We will not be eased from our history..
Thank You Amy Goodman For Being A Progressive Lighthouse On The Shores Of Political Chaos !

Amazing!!
How in the hell did she get that quote wrong.
@@daninafutch7475 if I'm not judgemental I'm not breathing 😁
You must learn on your own., But they must teach our history in school.
Merci Nichole Hannah
Like the Jacobins, names and dates had to be radically transformed. 1619, not 1776, is now America’s birthdate and, we are told, it was an ignominious one.
Education become liberation
Thank you Nikole Hannah-Jones. Very powerful words.

And no one talks about that as though it is forgotten
This is a good example of BLACK PEOPLE wouldn't be this far long without the BLACK WOMEN🌹
How in the world can Black people get anywhere without Black Men. It takes a man to make a child with a woman. How can you ignore all of the men who have done so much to progress Black People..... Amazing! Sad. In order for us to praise Black women, we don't need to degrade or put down black men.
I go to the DuSable museum that was brought up going to Margaret Burroughs house, which was the museum before they built it. My mother was one of her students.
That museum has not changed when you go in and you’re depressed and when you come out you’re depressed they have not changed anything … I am embarrassed when I come out of that place because it is so depressing and they remind you that you are a slave which you are not in reality
Black people were not slaves !
Black people were kidnapped and put into indentured servitude. They were kidnapped and put into indentured servant servitude I don’t call that slavery, and no one is a slave!
You change history, if it is written incorrectly !
Wasn't most of the 1619 project debunked by major journalists?

I supported years ago, a black college to try to keep it open, and I was discriminated against by my own Black people who ran it… in actuality, no black person ran the black college. It was funded by wealthy, rich, white politician, in other white business. … that’s some of the African-American politician in that area got to help … on the surface, it seemed almost legitimate, but it was just a cash cow for some of the resident that lived in that area … Later on what they promised to give, the students never happened... The buses were not used that which was promised, was not, and eventually most of the students who has questions they were not answered they were ignored. but they ignored me and my questions later on the college was closed anyway and the credit hours were no good. The funds were there. They were just absorbed by those who kept it open, and their friends, who they hired to teaching it by the way, which were the worst teachers I’ve ever encountered an English teacher that could not speak English a music teacher that made fun of those who are literally trying most of the people there that live there act like it was still Jim crow.
That was one of the many colleges that were demolished during that time and it was a big scheme to keep the black colleges open a last effort of refuge cashcow for the political friends or supporters, friends or whatever…
Statues are toppled, careers Trotskyized.
Like in Iraq? Lmao.
I'm humble in honoring you and that respect you and myself to listen to ur presence because I actually fight and luv the easy battle of making this world accept black power and it's Improvement
Brilliant
✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
And how can one support black businesses, if black businesses are taking advantage of black customers?
Beautiful...Alhamdullah
Tell us all about it.

Read that book. Many chapters on various subjects. Great read.
What about the stuff that was debunked?
@@jamman9569read the book. It's footnotes!
Mjadala mkubwa (great discussion)! First, Black people in the United States should drop the term 'Black American' and pick an African (Bantu) name for the (collective) group, e.g., Maboma ('many villages' < Kiswahili). The "Black American" term does nothing to denote that the associated person is of African origin. In fact, the term "Black American" sounds like someone who is classified as an appendage culturally , ethnically and philosophically to the American, the name that the white colonizers, who founded the eventual United States, gave themselves. Perhaps Black people ought to embrace their African heritage and identify as Bantu. Just keep it simple. The African culture in the US is based on this geo-ethnic background. The rest of the African Diaspora is pretty much Bantu as well. Everyone needs an ethno-lingua-cultural reference for themselves which references the 7 major areas of culture: ethos, economics, politics, creative arts, social organization, history and mythology. Put all of the greatest talents, achievements and narratives from past and present under the banner of the new name. Though the group is based in the US, having a home and affiliation in Africa is part of the birthright as well as a conduit for economic and political leverage in a mzungu (white) dominated country (United States). The group should state that they are Africans. This creates proper order. Second, develop an Africa linkage/engagement plan. Multi-level engagement w/ Africa is the basic solution and path forward for African-Americans. Just thinking outside the box by a Bantu passing by!
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH
@@kuehnel16 On a serious note, do you understand the points that I was making?
As a Caribbean member of the Diaspora, I agree with you. When we go back in time we find that most of us are Bantu. What we call ourselves and how we identify should come out of a place of strength and unity. I believe identifying as Bantu does that, unlike the term such as black or African American.
@@AnyahEMB Asante sana kwa maoni yako na ufahamu (many thanks for your comments and insights), AnyahEMB. Some of the material relative to Bantu and the Diaspora (along with some of my prescriptions for a pathway forward) will be coming out in my new book 'Scattered Assets' in about a month.
Black history is American history. 🤎
The DuSable museum in Chicago is stagnant and has not changed… end it is not the truth, the fullness of history of a people!
It is a place of embarrassment and has not changed in years and it gives them it is a false sense of true history of a people it needs to be re-managed renovated, and it is extremely limited, and has not grown that place reminds me of a festering sore that has not healed when you go in you can feel it depressing when you come out.
And it does not have truth in the history of aboriginal people. It is extremely limited, and has nothing worth anything in it.
How can we get past the dead if we’re constantly thinking about them… A soldier who goes through PTSD. He doesn’t get over that by consistently, thanking back as though he were still in battle.
No …. That man puts that behind him, and trod it under his feet…. And break future ground constantly climbing and moving and achieving, and his future become his past …..let the dead bury the dead. You do not change by living with the dead!
Life is for the living … and the dead know nothing… those who kill, steal and destroy.. continue to live with the dead.
don't forget the ship called Jesus that brought us here also back in the 1400,s
Time to get Our Reparations Now !

Education is powerful but if it is coming from those that oppressed you, then it's pointless. Liberation is more important. Even with all the education blacks receive, we are perhaps at our lowest as a people. I don't think the Haitians during their liberation wanted an education, they wanted to be liberated, first and foremost. The American in America, especially the black American has to ask what is the point of an education under the premises of a white Psychopathological social system
Can someone tell us why then our children are following rappers, sport entertainers etc.. and will not homeschool our children ? i had a small conversation with this smart lady, but, i think we have to question her or ask the tough questions . Like how we are inspired by malomx and we dont homeschool our children. what type of education?? I like many of us did poetry there at that library but, we aren't learning education and we don't know this cause we arent involved at the district level in NYC !!!
That project is not worth praising .
Can you imagine what it was like for Moses to keep people organized and free the people were desert people to begin with that was their heritage, and when they were in the desert when they were freed from pharaoh…. none of them realize they were masters of living in desert
knowledge, like science is supposed to be rigorously tested,......... that's not happening at I hate America University. And not from Malcolm anybody. Hate is hate in any form.
If it comes from the handmaid school, perhaps you should think twice before making the mistake of giving it a platform?
Education leads to white spouses
Cumia was right.
I claim North and south pole. And anything others blacks live that I already know and whatever later I continue 2 find

"Liberation" from what exactly?
I'm not exactly seeing people lining to immigrate to Liberia.
"Liberation" is just another buzzword from the salad of racial grifting.
from the lies perpetuated thru white supremacy/thru the lens of DC (the dominant culture).
It's a communist term.
Journalist?? They don't exist.
But only teach the ‘black history’ you all wanna share. Edit & revise history to fit your own self importance.
I love her 😍
NOT HAPPENING 😂😂😂I
Nikole, who is God of U.S? In God we trust. Blame or Praise?
Bible 13 Then a voice told him, “Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.”
14“Surely not, Lord!” Peter replied. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”
15The voice spoke to him a second time, “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”
16This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven.
Bible (1 Samuel 15:1-35)16 “Only in the cities of these peoples that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, you shall not leave alive anything that breathes. 17 “But you shall utterly destroy them, the Hittite and the Amorite, the Canaanite and the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite, as the LORD your God has commanded you.
Bible: Leviticus 20:13 "If a man practices homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman, both men have committed a detestable act. They must both be put to death, for they are guilty of a capital offense.
Bible 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
The 1619 Project was indeed story telling, fictional story telling at its finest.
You wish it was.
If it wasn't true, would whites have fought so hard against it?
@@Ms.MaryAnn Jones has had to admit that what she wrote is fiction.
@@jordanthompson8268 do you have the link?
@@jordanthompson8268then you need to read the book. She put your lie to rest. The magazine she couldn't footnote. In the magazine they printed that American Revolutionary War was about only slavery. It was a mistake. It should have been some of the American Revolutionary War was about slavery. Which they corrected. That, didn't throw the whole 1619 Project out the door. If you check out the book, "1619 Project " she was able to footnote what she said, about slavery in the magazine. So please don't try to throw the baby out with the bath water. Remember, America told countless numbers of class school kids that Columbus discovered America in 1492. THAT WAS A LIE. What say you about how that story was told for two centuries or more? That didn't take anything from the story of America, or did it?
Mrs. Jones did an amazing job of telling a story of a country that refuses to tell the TRUTH!
Hannah 👎🏽
How much is this affecting the racial wealth gap Nikole talks about?
"More African-Americans are going to college than ever before. But according to new research from the Center on Education and the Workforce at Georgetown University, African-American college students are more likely to pursue majors that lead to low-paying jobs, setting up many for future debt and underemployment..."
From:
African-Americans over-represented among low-paying college majors
PBS Newshour
Wait until we get to 4 and 5 generations of men and women graduating from college, then you will see a difference in those who get those low paying jobs. Again, your spotlighting the evil of a system that wouldn't educated a race of people for 200 years. But, as Coach Prime says, "We coming!" No mather what this country throws at us, we coming!
🤣

Yes the 1619 Project was quite a story, if somewhat fictional
yes there is documentation that it stands on, maybe you should research it
@@ethelparis2255It is nothing but a revisionist narrative, perpetrated by a papist huckster and her cultic following of gullible Ivy Leaguers.
@SteelerzReignSupremeII the reason for the American Revolution wasn’t to preserve slavery
Are you DENYING hundreds of years of Black enslavement in North America/United States? Is that your stance?
@SteelerzReignSupremeII hey bozo she did
The "1619 Project" received derision from both left-wing and right-wing scholars. In my experience, the things that receive bipartisan criticism are the things you should take the least seriously. Really, the "1619 Project" should've been the "1619 Pop-up Book" and should've been written in brief, large print sentences.
the only thing left wing said was it didn't just start in 1619 but no one could challenge the history of the people involved
Are you saying that both left-wing and right-wing scholars put all their academic expertise together... only to DENY hundreds of years of Black enslavement in North America/United States? Did they all graduate from Harvard?
"New York Times journalist", that's all I need to know, next...

Propaganda
White nationalist history is quintessential propaganda/mythology. The history you endorse is just a global public relations campaign
