- This week, New York Times Magazine unveiled the 1619 Project - a collection of writings which re-examines slavery in the United States & its impact on people of color today 400 years after the first slave ship arrived in this country.
Reporter Nikole Hannah-Jones leads the project which includes multiple pieces from top reporters.
She sits down with Ebro in the Morning to break down the impressive and ambitious piece of work as well as the history of slavery of America and how we continue to see its effects today.

I’m glad she cleared up that common misconception. Indentured servitude was an AGREEMENT, not forcibly done.
Im reading the book right now, only in the first chap to this point. But Im in awe of this brilliant, beautiful and courageous woman.
This was such a great conversation, I’m not a black American but as a Jamaican I’ve always been made to feel ashamed about my history. This was really inspiring.
So imagine how us black Americans feel
Lyndon Simmons I 100% agreed with everything that this woman had to say and it has inspired me to delve deeper into my own history and really get a deeper understanding.
"Every time they (white Americans) see black (Americans) people....because we (black people) had the audacity to survive slavery."
around 27 minutes speaks to me.
Yes they are angry that not only did we survive we thrived things are CHANGING
Only The southern Blacks ! We Northern Folk just Love Y’all !
@Luke T.E she wasn't saying she was black, she was repeating something from the video that was stated. That's why it's in quotes, those aren't her words, it's from the person in the video. She merely was saying "about 27 minutes of the video spoke to her".
This conversation is 100% life and truth . Based on American historical facts.She took a lot from ADOS founders William Darity, Antonio Moore and Yvette Carnell. That's who the BC should have on as guest too.
How do you know that? as Antonio like to say look at the data, so if she look at the data and history, wouldn't she come to the same conclusion that Yvette, Antonio and Mr Darity came to? so how can you sit there and say she took a lot from them? if you was to do the research you should get the same results. like you said "This conversation is 100% life and truth" they say when you hear the truth you'll know it
@@willie417 True no one has an exclusive right to knowledge but for those of us familiar with her work and presence on Twitter, she was espousing a distinctly different narrative as of Jan 2019. Go back and take a look at her Twitter thread and then listen to this interview again. She is better late than never.
@@vermithrax7796 exactly! She quoted Yvette Carnell verbatim without reference.
She is a proxy.
Facts, right. That's why numerous historians from both ends of the political spectrum have come out and found flaws with it
*Yvette Carnell, Antonio Moore, and William Darity Jr would be great people to interview.*
They’ll never do it because they want people that are safe #ados
@James Williams Advocate for them. No other way to find out.
#ADOS ... Antonio Moore.. Tone Talks . Yvette Carnel.. Breaking Brown . .. they are doing the REAL WORK
Brandon Gaskins Tariq nasheed. Professor black truth. Jason black. 🤔. Open your scope bro. Plenty people doing the work
@@calicojones7727 Those are good names but I am referring to the conversation about reparations. I get my information from various sources and people especially brother Cornell West
let everyone have their say
Calico Jones Tariq isn’t political. Black Truth and TBA don’t come with data.
Can you imagine Marianne Williamson or Byron Allen working with them?
@Kelsey Tyler Factz
We are our Fathers children, children of the MOSTHIGH, and our history doesn't just begin here in 1619. Not taking anything away from her, because I love what she is doing. It is my belief that the Father is using people like her to waken his people and the rest of the world.
The legacy of what this country is derives from there, though.
No mention of #ADOS , #FBA , Yvette Carnell, Antonio Moore, Tariq Nasheed, or New Black Media. Regardless of how you feel about them, they did it first and have been doing it for years. All of them deserve their credit. I do appreciate this information finally being shared on a major national platform. But for the hosts to turn this into a "people of color" issue instead of focusing on Black American descendants of slavery is maddening.
Luke T.E the nerve of you white man usurper, talking about others getting something free when you're people have stolen most things of the earth !
Leave it up to someone to take something positive & informative & make it about something so frivolous and unnecessary to the conversation at hand!!🙄👎🏽🤬
@@charx9149 All of this is informative if you've never heard it before. This discussion has been taking place for years. Again, we're grateful for the discussion but cite your sources. That's factual not negative.
This is Absolutely AWESOME!!! Thank You, Nikole Hannah-Jones!
I'm watching this, but the real work is coming from the grassroots #ADOSb#tangibles movement! There are many voices out their including Yvette Carnell, Antonio Moore, Dr. Sandy Darrity, Tariq Nasheed, Dr. Claud Anderson who have been driving this home without the help of the new York times! If you take this issue seriously, bring them in!
Sir No disrespect to you but do you think people will take you serious after mentioning Yvette Carnell or Tariq Nasheed🤔?
@@MsRESPECT90 oh, they didn't get endorsed by the new York times so that makes their work less important? I don't get caught up in personalities, but I will get caught up in numbers and I don't think anyone has pulled more data and made it available than Dr. Darrity, Yvette and Antonio! If so, drop their names!
MsRESPECT90 they literally the reason this conversation is being had. Hannah Jones is co-opting the conversation without crediting her source. She was NOT talking about this a year or even a few months ago. #ADOS been doing this for three years.
@@MsRESPECT90 The grassroots/streets take Yvette & Tariq serious & that's all that matters!!
MsRESPECT90 Yevette is a grifter
Ok. Nikole....Let's REALLY talk about it. Fantastic conversation!!!!!
Nikole, you are my hero!
#ADOS Angela Project 1619
Big facts. She blocked the # ADOS
#Ados
@Blackskinis AmazingADOS is not right about everything, but this is looking more and more like crisis-pimping, with it being absent a gameplan, any accountability, or any advocacy for Descendants.
The thing where ADOS "spokespeople" want to be credited makes sense, also is a little silly and is not everyone's fight. However, not crediting contributors CAN be 101 course-level work on co-opting, sidetracking and cashing-out a movement that has been very vocal about having a agenda beyond the re-hashing of history.
Ebro once again proving why he's a better interviewer than CTG will EVER be.
Pandering to the quest doesn't make him a "good interviewer"
Nah, CTG is better.
In this case it really doesn't matter who the interviewer is when TRUTH & FACTS are being spoken!!🤷🏾♀️
Nikole! If you see this please make a UA-cam Channel, sis. Thank you for sharing our history.
I love her energy ! What a brilliant mind. Where can we get a copy of the literature ?
Very insightful! Really enjoyed listening to the discussion. Well said Nikole!
Nicole Hannah Jones is worth her weight in gold. This lady is brilliant. Please read "The 1619 Project" if you haven't already. It is a magnificent book.
Im sure it wouldve been over a million views if Cardi B was on....
That’s were the problem is . The young generation look to the hip hop lot rather than the real hero’s of their culture.
Primeminister66 you are correct! This generation want to be entertained by stupidity and drama rather than black history which will empower and educate our people.
Thank you Ms. Nikole Hannah-Jones
I love Nikole Hanna Jones
Much love for her
I wish I could Like this interview TWICE! So many amazing points, so many great questions and so many facts!

The 1619 Project is a lie. The first enslaved Africans to set foot in what is now the United States occurred in 1526 in the San Miguel de Gualdape colony. The only reason 1619 is being referenced is to blame white Angl-Saxon people for this and not Spanish/Hispanic people who (today) are considered "people of color".
@@knightwatchman she explained that at the beginning
@@knightwatchman Go to SPAIN & TELL THEM THAT,,,.
@@tneita3166 The Spanish already know it.
I just purchased Before the Mayflower, Thanks Nikole!
That's dope……...PEace..
I hope "Before the Mayflower" mentions this ... The first enslaved Africans to set foot in what is now the United States occurred in 1526 in the San Miguel de Gualdape colony. The only reason 1619 is being referenced is to blame white Angl-Saxon people for this and not Spanish/Hispanic people who (today) are considered "people of color". This information makes the 1619 Project a lie from the start.
@@knightwatchman The point is not to blame the Englis. It's an basic historical point. It was the English settler colonies, not the Spanairds the eventually lead to what we now call the United States.
@@kwamezulushabazz I disagree. Their point is to blame the English and not anyone else for bringing slaves here. My argument is ... if they say; "The FIRST black slaves brought here were brought in 1619" that's a lie. And my point is ... if you START a narrative with a lie, the WHOLE narrative is a lie. Better they said; "The first slaves brought here BY ENGLISH COLONISTS were brought here in 1619". I would not have an issue with that. What this "project" is trying to do is blame the English colonists, who then revolted, which led to the American Revolution, which when the USA was formed in 1787 did NOT abolish slavery, which makes the founding of the USA immoral, which should lead to the overhaul of the Constitution. This project has a means to an end.

@@syckindahead The article
Thanks
Great conversation
dude said people are not inherently evil......the very discussion of the 400 years proves he is trippin
He tried it as 14:53, too. The attempts to dilute or say “these people were harmed, too” happens for the next 2 minutes. PSA: There are no so-called “allies” or adjacent...
We gotta get the views up on this one. This interview was much better than TBC..
ADOS 💪💪💪
Why isn't Oprah talking about her
@@pawpads9397 I heard Oprah actually did tweet her out.. but Oprah a tool
Great interview family. Absolutely love Queen Nikole and her insight/takes on such topic!
POWERFUL. "It's the same thing that goes into the idea of building a statue to a man where the only reason we even know his name is because he experimented on enslaved women but we only care that he innovated gynecology as a field. So. We're constantly asked to erase this legacy of slavery." One thing I will add is that it's essential that we not practice erasure within our own community when it comes to certain groups within our own community. I've seen Black men dismiss and attempt to erase some of the struggles Black ADOS women face to focus on the "bigger issues at hand". I've seen hetero/cis-gendered people try to erase some of the struggles Black LGBTQ+ ADOS people face. Erasure is a part of white culture that I've even seen some people who claim to be pro-Black practice. Even Black leaders that I've learned from. We, ADOS, have to be invested in all of us. I will also say that we haven't "overcome every obstacle". Most of us lived poor and died poor. Didn't overcome poverty. Died too soon from health issues due to lack of resources. Didn't make it out of food deserts. Got stuck in the revolving door of the industrial complex. Etc. We're still at the bottom because we weren't made to fly in these conditions. We aren't supernegroes.
WE HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS CONVERSATION SINCE THE 1920s FAMILY. IT'S TRULY UNFORTUNATE THAT WE DON'T ACKNOWLEDGED THOSE ANCESTORS WHO CAME BEFORE US WHO HAVE PUT WORK IN ON THIS SUBJECT MATTER. ONE
Great interview Ebro! You asked awesome questions and I believe you did your research.
Jones did a great job articulating the thesis of her work. Well done 👍
I found a few quotes she used to frame her discussion came from @tonetalks and @Breakingbrown reports.
Juslike EyeCit2 I did also
I SALUTE YOU NICOLE. Ur so knowledgeable on d topic. U have an amazing ability to connect d dots. UR AMAZING! U anserd lots of my curiosities
Significantly insightful! How may I get a hard copy of this magazine's issue?
Excellent information.
I would really enjoy a conversation with this young lady... She educates without being preachy
Her moms is Czechoslovakian. pops is black American.
@Luke T.E Oh Really??? 👌 Sure you right
@@yofolks3 So,,,.
Africa 🌍🙏🏽🌍 keep learning, keep researching and come back home 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Why, To be sold again?
Back home to what? For what? When is Africa going to unite? When will Africa give her lost children reparations? When will Africa back ADOS efforts to gain wealth?
Yes Going back is the only way to fix back our problems 🖤
🇺🇸 America is my home...thanks for the invite though.
You might want to extend that invitation to all the Africans that come over here in droves.
Why would I want to leave somewhere they all want to be to go somewhere they all want to leave?
You're not making any sense! How can we 'come back' to a continent that most of us has never been to before?
Nikole is such an eloquent warrior!!!! Her confidence & knowledge make me SO PROUD to be a Young Black Queen just like her!!!! Blessings on Blessings to Nikole as I know that she will continue on this journey, solidifying her LEGACY!!!!
Full agreement!
“The white race is the biggest murderer, rapist, pillager and thief of the modern world.” She’s still going at it. “No aspect of the country that would be formed here has been untouched by the 250 years of slavery that followed,” Hannah-Jones wrote for The 1619 Project. That many whites were “indentured servants” (i.e., slaves) and that blacks often owned other blacks, apparently haven’t registered with her.
@@Spooner125 Hannah-Jones’ recent writings are rife with woke clichés. “Systemic racism,” “white privilege,” “mass incarceration” - they’re all there. It is little wonder, then, that her employer these past several years has been the radicalized New York Times. Executive Editor Dean Baquet, himself black, hired her in 2015 to cover race-related issues. She proved an apt employee, so much so that the MacArthur Foundation in 2017 rewarded her with a five-year, $625,000 “genius” grant.
Thank you OUR history..And educating us all....Know your history..I know mine's🙏🙏🌍🌍
I WANT THIS NOW!!!!!!

Excellent representation Nikole Hannah! You are on my list to read sis you are nailing it!!!!!! Thank You
Great Interview! Ebro always real with his interviews.
Also, thanks to Hannah-Jones for some real talk. She pretty much argued #ADOS discussions that many people tries to disagree with. #Reparations
HUCKSTER - - Business chieftains have responded with sympathy and money. By the end of last December, corporations already had committed $35 billion to Black Lives Matter-allied organizations. Individual CEOs also opened their wallets. In a dramatic gesture, Twitter’s Jack Dorsey provided $10 million in seed money to Boston University’s Center for Antiracist Research, a project of black revolutionary author Ibram X. Kendi.
There are several strands to this project. Big up Ebro and the guest for discussing reparations and the importance of the debt owed to native black Americans. However, you cannot freeze ADOS out. The grassroots movement that put the reparations topic in the public sphere was built on the legal, political and economic scholarship of Antonio Moore; Yvette Carnell and William "Sandy" Darity. You MUST give them credit.
How about bringing Tone, Yvette, and Dairity on your show Ebro!
If reparations, native people come first; Old Worlders must wait their turn!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who are they?
Yo, just ask the questions. Other than that excellent, informative, interview, shedding light along the way.
Thank you for this masterful piece!
Thank you Nikola Hannah 👍👍Fantastic conversation !! #The1619project
Great interview.
Thanks Hot 97, Ebro and crew👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
#ADOS #1619 We here!!!! We are the genesis of America.
I'm really inspired on learning the mindset of white America and how After generation after generation how the keep the process rolling .
With keeping us enslaved and even throwing the information for.us to learn about the slavery trade. The process is so interesting but I came seem to find the answer.
Wow! Ebro your voice is reminiscent of DJ Envy but your thoughts and comments are broader and go way deeper. Much respect. Now I have another platform from which to gain valuable insight. GREAT interview!
ADOS, TONE TALKS Yvette Carnell 101 word for word
I'm glad someone is saying it, but I def wish Yvette & Tone got the credit they deserved. There's no way she wasn't watching or listening to them.
I’ve been saying that for years...slavery in Africa wasn’t slavery as defined today. It was a kinda definitive or temporary monetizing adoption from family to family, tribe to tribe,..
That's still a level of complicity tho.....Their were African tribes who knew what was happening in America. In fact their have been African leaders who have come to this country and apologized to African-Americans for their role in the slave trade. It was not a one way street. They sold families, prisoners of war, with the knowledge later on of the subjugation that they were under!!!
@@jman1562001 but they DID NOT keep us enslaved for hundreds of years nor tried to keep us there & our families for generations!! It also doesn't give them an excuse to do it just because we were doing it to eachother!! Foh
Exactly
@@charx9149
Sister, it def is not an excuse. Morally its all wrong but it just shows history and narratives can't be told just one way. It's complicated and their is more grey area then black and white (no pun intended!!).
Like since we were colonies of Britian when slavery was introduced to the Americas, should Great Britian (which theoretically benefited from the slave trade as well) be held accountable in a reparations discussion esp. if it helped profit the Industrial Revolution???
@@jman1562001 how did they know what chattel slavery was like in north America at the time??? Did some go and come back on a return trip? Idts
Trying to take the narrative away from ADOS smh we ain't buying it
If you don't get the hell out of here with that ADOS bullshit. you should be proud... don't you call yourselves slaves today?
@@hasanx4637 We ADOS are proud of our lineage!
Most of you don't even know your ancestry. O_o
You just see your brown skin and hop on a bandwagon... It's kinda sad, really. Cause y'all are not only doing NOTHING, but there are people who are enslaved TO THIS DAY, but cardi b and blueface get more of your attentions.
GTFOH~ 😂
@@makkuzen7155 @Makku Zen ADOS ancestry is spelled out in the name. American Descendants of Slavery. You slow?
I 6 min in a yet had mention reperation at all...I'm going listen to the rest but if she dont mention reperation what's the point doing a peace for the New York times..she don't have to acknowledge ADOS but acknowledge REPERATION
Thank you! I thought I knew, but she has provided even more information.
Great interview! 👏 She was very informative and dropped knowledge based on facts, not feelings. I need to get my hand in The 1619 Project. I would love to read it.
Out standing interview. I will try to find that documentation in read it and try to pass it on.
This is beautiful definitely getting a copy and listening to Podcast.
I learned so much. Thank you.
What frustrates me the most is how some people point at the exception of black wealth and use that to make the claim "anyone can do it if you work hard."
Because it's true. Anyone in 2022 can become whatever they want. If you aspire to be a rich intelligent person you can be. Look at this lady Hannah. She's black and she made it. Y'all looking for an excuse to be a lazy good for nothing.
@@maryjohnson1890 What an ignorant-ass, stupid-ass thing to say. Your assumption that only a black person wants to be lazy and good-for-nothing simply because they're black is nothing but an old, tired-ass racist stereotype that white people have always loved to spread about black people throughout American history, regardless of how hard they worked them to death, especially in the South. That's why you need to check your own racism, and look at how ignorant, stupid, and very fucking racist what you just said was. Black people do not have a claim on being "lazy and good for nothing"---you find people like that in every race, culture and country. That is not just a "black thing". As a black person, I find what you said very fucking ignorant and offensive as hell. So cut the bullshit, please. And claiming every black person should be able to make it because a handful made it completely ignores that everyone does not always have the support structure--a decent family and someone to guide/ encourage them to make it. Plus nobody ever tells white people that bullshit. Obviously you didn't listen to this interview, or you wouldn't have said something so stupid and ignorant.
Probably my favorite Hot 97 interview. Needed this 💯
I Approve THIS Message...………..#ADOS/#FBA/#TANGIBLES2020...………Pay Homage………...1..
#ados, tangibles 2020 !
I want & need to know, How do I get a copy of THIS MAGAZINE #The1619Project❓Thank You Nikole & You All So Much For This Information 💯♥️
Love all the knowledge
DAMN! Nikole Hannah-Jones went in, covered all the points! Great job!
Except she didn’t know she worked for Slave owning , and Confederate Supporters !
Everything except the truth. However some of us understand the real history of slavery and the importance of the black man Anthony Johnson. The man responsible for the creation of slavery in North America via court case in 1655.
How can I get a copy, grew up in Birmingham Alabama and would love to share this with my 13 grandchildren
I called the NY times.. They will give you an address where to write.. I think it's about 10$ dollars. If you go to twitter 1619, there are several people posting access to online copy you can download to your phone or computer
I want this magazine
The cheating example was epic! They had a LEGAL advantage for hundreds of years. And just like Lance Armstrong they didn't feel wrong about it. Sad af.
Once again another great social/cultural interview by this show. But once again I am disappointed that this type of interview has a low view count. I prefer this type of interview over some trivial music talk. Please keep up these shows and sharing the information.
it's a music radio channel, they should stick to that and stay out of politics because they're dumb.
Excellent...best interview all time...
ADOS represent!!!
Thank You👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you for tearing off the bandage on this horrible wound.
Important work beyond the word!!!!!!!!
Ebro should interview Dr. Darity, Antonio Moore and Yvette!
Nice! This is my wife's cousin's wife. We made it! Lol
Far from it
Awesome!!❤✊🏽
Your wife's cousin should stop swagger jackin' if she can't pay homage..

Hey Nicole Waterloo Iowa stand up!!!!!!
WOW!!
I'm curious... Did Ebro, Rosenberg and Styles interview Brother Tariq Nasheed when Hidden Colors 5 recently dropped? If so, I didn't see it. I'm just wondering...
Wow ... a female version of Roland Martin ( @ knowing facts about our history) but much calmer. I've heard on this project, but I'm glad I've gotten the chance to hear more about it through this video.
Dope!!!
Shaunies face when Rosenberg said they're the same age🤣🤣🤣.... informative interview....
Bars🔥🔥🔥🔥
I had that 1619 book (well worn) in my dining room growing up. I saw and walked past the book cover 15,000 times probably. I never read it🙄🤨😟. On my to do list for 2019.
Good Stuff 👍🏾👍🏾
This is one of the best. I heard on 97
One of my favorite books : Before the Mayflower by Lerone Bennett Jr. I collect editions of it. 😉
Another brilliant Mrs. Jones ,,,,, clap clap clap clap clap. Clap clap.. i like
Excellent Conversation. Never Forget.
God bless you Nikole
She acknowledge and give some of the credit to Yvette Carnell and Tone talks for all the work that she seen they have been putting. Why did she block #! ADOS. Full of it. Very cute
#EbrointheMorning, thank you for having Nikole Hannah-Jones come on during the initial launch of the #1619Project. You have done a tremendous service to yourself, to Nikole, and to both your audiences. "They" ain't teachin' it, well now, teach it to yaself!
Black People never were allowed to gain true wealth. That was state and federal laws. We’ve never recovered. Rich entertainers and pro athletes are gross anomalies of Black progress. Black People in America truly live in a retro Apartheid environment and gentrification creating South Africa like townships and sundown towns. Great show!
In 1619, there was no United States of America! Those that formed the Colonies into a united entity saw slavery as wrong . . . which is why the 'Declaration of Independence' was worded as it was.
While existing in an obviously racist environment, we had people striving to make this new united from of government a kind of placed where the rights of the people were predominant over the government itself . . . a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
We see the roots of the elimination of slavery were in the minds of the forefathers because, within almost 30 years of the founding of the United States of America, it became illegal to import slaves from Africa or the West Indies!
By the 1860's, America had a Civil War to eliminate slavery altogether . . . and President Lincoln signed the 'Emancipation Proclamation' which is no doubt part of the reason he was murdered by assassination by John Wilkes Booth!
To think the United States is a racist nation is folly and ignorant of the truth and reality . . . the '1619 Project' is more an attempt at spreading reality in the form of half-truths and propaganda, than an attempt at the spreading of enlightenment through education.
It is all to obvious that slaves were brought to North America well before 1619 . . . but the originators of the '1619 Project' seem to have forgotten who sold these slaves in the first place! It was from their own people that gathered these slave up while still in Africa . . . Africans sold their own people into slavery and these slaves went to many places other than just to North America! But these 'truths' don't fit the narrative of the '1619 Project' and will never be revealed by them!
We need as many copies as we can get in the South Please. Sincerely! Mic'19
PS I'm sure AM&YC are proud of this moment and project. We're a corporation.
Check out " The other America" by Young Blizo....it's all relative.
this is major thank you so much!!!! salute to Nikole Hannah-Jones we love you for this . #thecolorofmyskyisblack
Thomas Jefferson plagiarized John Locke of France regarding “ life, liberty, and property”. Jefferson stated in the preamble “ life , liberty, and the pursuit of happiness which I believe remains to be plagiarism. This was not Jefferson’s heart felt sentiment, only a stolen phrase he utilized to coin an hypothetical document that is the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution. The SCOTUS DENIED African Americans the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in 1896 Plessey vs. Ferguson, the ruling that stripped African Americans of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments. Nikole-Hannah I salute you for your dedication to humanity.
Proof?
