The 1619 Project

AAD HOOGENDOORN ︎


The cracks are beginning to show in the structures that make up democracies all over the world. Steadfast democratic institutions are being undermined or wholly transformed. Shifting into a strange mercurial politics. A politics rooted in historical revisionism and the death of objectivity.

At the heart of this cultural battleground is a matter of historical revisionism, the rewriting of history. These are not just conversations about “how things were”, but instead, they are much more insidious. They are attempts at rewriting a national psyche.

Following on from her critically acclaimed book, The 1619 Project, Nikole Hannah-Jones joined us to offer a powerful lens on America’s current struggles around ideas of history, collective national identity and the politics of memory. 


A collaboration between Dutch platform DeDependance and The John Adams Institute we invited Pulitzer Prize winning Journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones to talk about her book The 1619 Project.

For this event, I curated and moderated the discussion in collaboration with DeDependance.
