Oprah Winfrey, Lionsgate Team to Bring New York Times’ ‘1619 Project’ to TV and Film
Breitbart ^ | July 08 2020 | DAVID NG

Posted on 07/08/2020 12:49:40 PM PDT by knighthawk

The New York Times’ “1619 Project” is getting the full Hollywood treatment, thanks to Lionsgate and Oprah Winfrey.

Under the deal, the controversial series of articles that sought to reframe American history around slavery will be adapted for the big and small screens — feature films, television series, documentaries, and various forms of unscripted content. Lionsgate will serve as the studio while Winfrey has come aboard as a producer.

“We took very seriously our duty to find TV and film partners that would respect and honor the work and mission of ‘The 1619 Project,’ that understood our vision and deep moral obligation to doing justice to these stories,” Nikole Hannah-Jones, the Times reporter who spearheaded the project, said in a statement to The Root, which first reported the deal.

It will be an expensive flop.

But will be shown by evil and naive and lazy teachers to students for years.

“The left is making everything unwatchable.”

God created reading glasses, pretzels and books as an enjoyable and relaxing alternative.

Oprah should be ashamed of herself, falling for this Marxist, revisionist, racist “1619 Project”.

All my remaining respect for her just went down the crapper.

There is a 1776 project. The organizer was on TV this past week with Mark Levin. I don’t recall his name but this Black American man was very wise and inspiring.
