WATCH: nhannahjones calls 1619 Project 'truth,' urges schools to teach it
Ahead of the 1619 Project's Hulu debut, its author Nikole Hannah-Jones said one word that can be used to describe the series is"truth."
Taking a shot at Gov. Ron DeSantis's move banning the advanced placement course for African American studies, she told Roberts,"You can ban what someone can learn in a classroom, but you can't stop them from watching this documentary series and getting that information." Since it's publication, Jones's book has been debunked by several historians. In a letter to the editor of the New York Times Magazine, five historians claimed,"These errors, which concern major events, cannot be described as interpretation or 'framing.' They are matters of verifiable fact, which are the foundation of both honest scholarship and honest journalism."
