Recently, one of our forum members asked Dr. Richardson to address the 1619 Project. She offered no information, but she prompted me to do some research on Project 1619. I discovered that despite the loud aggressive attacks on the project, I support the endeavor. Authors of the project have tweaked the preliminary report in response to some critiques, but they have maintained strong conviction in their project with regard to America's future methods of honoring the truth of our real history. I delighted in Hannah-Jones' retort to Mike Pomeo.
Dr. Richardson reports that : Then–Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tweeted that multiculturalism [is]... not who America is.” It “distort[s] our glorious founding and what this country is all about.” Hannah-Jones retorted: "When you say that multiculturalism is 'not who America is' and 'distorts our glorious founding' you unwittingly confirm the argument of the 1619 Project: That though we were ... a multiracial nation from our founding, our founders set forth a government of white rule. Cool."
There will more than likely be more developments to this story.
Here is how Nikole Hannah-Jones starts the 1619 journey: "My dad always flew an American flag in our front yard. The blue paint on our two-story house was perennially chipping; the fence, or the rail by the stairs, or the front door, existed in a perpetual state of disrepair, but that flag always flew pristine. Our corner lot, which had been redlined by the federal government, was along the river that divided the black side from the white side of our Iowa town. At the edge of our lawn, high on an aluminum pole, soared the flag, which my dad would replace as soon as it showed the slightest tatter."
Having listened to all 5 podcasts, I cannot say everything in it is fact. But what it portrays is enough for me.

This is a full embrace of the latest Republican attempt to turn teaching history into a culture war.
