Pulitzer Center Named Education Partner for The New York Times Magazine’s ‘The 1619 Project’

August 16, 2019 | General news BY JEFF BARRUS

The Pulitzer Center is pleased to announce that it has been selected as the education partner for “The 1619 Project,” The New York Times Magazine’s exploration of the legacy of black Americans starting with the arrival of the first enslaved Africans in 1619. As part of this partnership, the Center’s education team will produce original curricular materials for teachers and bring project contributors, including author Nikole Hannah-Jones, to schools and universities across the country.

“The 1619 Project” is driven by the fact that 400 years ago this summer, on August 20, 1619, a ship carrying more than 20 enslaved Africans arrived in Point Comfort, a coastal port in the British colony of Virginia. Though the United States had yet to be established, their arrival marked its foundation, the beginning of the system of slavery on which the country was built. “1619” is a special New York Times Magazine project observing this anniversary by examining the many ways the legacy of slavery continues to shape and define life in the United States.

“We are honored to have the opportunity to work with The New York Times on this landmark initiative,” said Jon Sawyer, executive director of the Pulitzer Center. “The education network we have built over the past 13 years is premised on the belief that journalism can be the engine for public education and civil discourse. It is hard to imagine a topic more resonant, or more important, than ‘The 1619 Project.’”

Sony awarding a Pulitzer Prize to the New York Times for the 1619 Project, as the Pulitzer organization essentially awarded a Pulitzer Prize to itself. On any other planet this would be called a glaring conflict of interest. You’d think they’d be too ashamed to do this to themselves.

So in awarding . . .
I was never very good at proofreading

They will do anything to keep racial hatred alive.

The Right is so beyond racial prejudice, but the Left just
can’t let it go.

It’s worked so well for them.

I see kids with heads full of mush spouting some of the most
awful stuff. They’re being spoon fed it from the Left.

Slavery has always existed in human cultures

Google: In 1803, Denmark-Norway became the first country in Europe to ban the African slave trade. In 1807, “three weeks before Britain abolished the Atlantic slave trade, President Jefferson signed a law prohibiting 'the importation of slaves into any port or place within the jurisdiction of the United States.

Mauritania, in West Africa, abolished slavery, in 1981.

Shows to go ya, slavery was in Africa LONG after the West ended its own slave trade.
In other words, look what "pot" is calling the kettle black...no pun intended...truly.

Everybody has a role to play in the deep state.

The New York Times’ Correction To The 1619 Project Proves It Is Not Fit For Schools
The New York Times has finally admitted a key error in the 1619 Project. It disqualifies it from use in our schools.

Slavery has been a part of human civilization for most of it’s existence so 1619 is bogus. 619 , however is relevant. That is when a major religion was founded and in this emerging religion slavery is perfectly incorporated as a part of God’s will . That religion is Islam. I doubt the Pulitzer putz’s are going to give me a award for pointing this out.

[Truthoverpower]

Slavery still goes on in Africa among the Muslims

Renaming the Pulitzer Center as the “Putz Center” because they are such dumbassed, leftist jerks.

Media scholars: Calling Walter Duranty. Please return your Pulitzer Prize for covering up the Soviet Union’s killing of millions of people, esp. in Ukraine, during the 30’s.

To the New York Times: When we basically ran out of toilet paper due to the panic buying re the virus, we turned to old copies of the NYTs. Cut into 8” squares and folded over, they were the perfect item with which to wipe one’s ass.

Some of us learned decades ago (as journalists), that the NTY and the Wash. Post were “for shit” and this pandemic proved it.
