The long history of both overt and structural racism in society affects access to health care and the quality of treatment provided. In both Louisiana and Chicago, for example, recent statistics showed that roughly 70% of COVID-19 deaths occurred among Blacks, even though they are a minority in both areas. Failing to understand the implications our history has today makes us blind to the inequalities that confront Black men and women in America. Nikole’s work examines slavery’s modern legacy and reframes the way we understand this history and the contributions of black Americans to the nation. THE 1619 PROJECT A New Origin Story Edited by Nikole Hannah-Jones, Caitlin Roper, Ilena Silverman and Jake Silverstein Has a book ever come into the world when at least four other books were.
