HTML:<b>#1 <i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER • NAACP IMAGE AWARD WINNER • A dramatic expansion of a groundbreaking work of journalism, <i>The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story</i> offers a profoundly revealing vision of the American past and present.<br /> “[A] groundbreaking compendium . . . bracing and urgent . . . This collection is an extraordinary update to an ongoing project of vital truth-telling.”—<i>Esquire</i></b><br /> <b>NOW AN EMMY-WINNING HULU ORIGINAL DOCUSERIES • A <i>KIRKUS REVIEWS</i> BEST NONFICTION BOOK OF THE CENTURY • AN <i>OPRAH DAILY</i> BEST NONFICTION BOOK OF THE PAST TWO DECADES • FINALIST FOR THE KIRKUS PRIZE • ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: <i>The Washington Post,</i> NPR, <i>Esquire, Marie Claire, Electric Lit, Ms.</i> magazine, <i>Kirkus Reviews, Booklist</i></b><br /> In late August 1619, a ship arrived in the British colony of Virginia bearing a cargo of twenty to thirty people stolen from Africa. Their arrival led to the barbaric and unprecedented system of American chattel slavery that would last for the next 250 years. This is sometimes referred to as the country’s original sin, but it is more than that: It is the source of so much that still defines the United States.<br /> <i>The New York Times Magazine</i>’s award-winning 1619 Project issue reframed our understanding of American history by placing slavery and its continuing legacy at the center of our national narrative. This book substantially expands on that work, weaving together eighteen essays that explore the legacy of slavery in present-day America with thirty-six poems and works of fiction that illuminate key moments of oppression, struggle, and resistance. The essays show how the inheritance of 1619 reaches into every part of contemporary American society, from politics, music, diet, traffic, and citizenship to capitalism, religion, and our democracy itself.<br /> This book that speaks directly to our current moment, contextualizing the systems of race and caste within which we operate today. It reveals long-glossed-over truths around our nation’s founding and construction—and the way that the legacy of slavery did not end with emancipation, but continues to shape contemporary American life.<br /> Featuring contributions from: <b>Leslie Alexander • Michelle Alexander • Carol Anderson • Joshua Bennett • Reginald Dwayne Betts • Jamelle Bouie • Anthea Butler • Matthew Desmond • Rita Dove • Camille T.
