      Princeton's distinguished liberal historian Sean Wilentz absolutely pile-drives Jake Silverstein, Nikole Hannah-Jones, & the 1619 project: "No effort to educate the public...to advance social justice can afford to dispense with a respect for basic facts." https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/01/1619-project-new-york-times-wilentz/605152/ …pic.twitter.com/GKoEmXM1X0

      What did you think of the 1619 project? Majority of your tweets about it seem to have a very consistent negative tone.

      That deserves a longer answer but the short one is that, while a corrective to histories underplaying slavery & the black experience is a useful concept, the project was clearly aimed at a different ideological goal & that drove its disregard for the facts.

          It seems to me that the role of slavery in the intellectual and industrial development of the Anglo-Atlantic world is under Appreciated. I would love to see to what extent profits from the Caribbean bankrolledthe English enlightenment and the industrial revolution.

          Except it didn’t disregard “the facts”, it interpreted them differently. Differently from the historians that essentially ignore the actual roles of slavery racism. What other ideological goal could it have?
