What is going to be given to the people will be attending the menominee workshop we listen im supposed to explain apologize for someone who is also terrorizing me we meet with global newsmakers and talk about the stories that matter. Hi im femi oke a and you all in the stream. Are black americans the true founders of u. S. Democracy that is the premise of the 60. By the New York Times magazine. Black people responded to their slaves by demanding and fighting not just for their own right but for universal rights they believe those words that our founders did not and from the moment when Crispus Attucks a man who in self was not free who was a fugitive from slavery died for the freedom of this new nation all the way to now we see the black lives matter protests and we must acknowledge that it is black people who have fought more than any other group to make the ideals laid out in the constitution of reality. The cornerstone of the series is an essay by Nicole Hannah jones so you just heard from and what she asserts the year 1619 is foundational to the american story a 776 the year the u. S. Gained independence why it was in august 16th that the 1st enslaved africans overall lived in what would become the u. S. State of virginia this is the 400th anniversary of the start of the Transatlantic Slave Trade in america the 6948 commemorates this Pivotal Moment and seeks to reframe history joining us to discuss this in new york activist educator but it in berkeley california Stephanie Jones rogers shes a history professor at the university of california berkeley and in nashville tennessee 10 wise hes an antiracism writer and activist welcome everyone to the stream i want to start with some of the feedback we got from people online when they 1st heard about this project and ill start here with someone on twitter who said i am brought to tears by the essay written by miss heneage jones i have never seen my own feelings about this country written so eloquently and yet it was full of facts i didnt know and i consider myself a fairly well educated on our history she goes on to say a colleague of mine left the country after trump was elected a daughter of chinese and german immigrants she lost faith in our democracy i never have i will fight to my death to perfect it its why i became a lawyer so clearly this resonates barry strongly with her brittany for you what was your reaction when you learned of this project and then began diving into the project and reading it. My reaction was very similar to the person who just tweeted i knew that we were going to be given an immense a gift and when i say we im talking specifically about black people who could finally see our stories and our Foundation Almost narrative is being shared in the paper of record but im also talking about a gift to this entire country a reframing of a conversation that should have happened years ago but that we continue to resist because it makes us deeply uncomfortable and forces us to look in the mirror at ourselves so im deeply grateful for this project every Single Person that contributed to it and im grateful for that conversation that its bird stephanie it feels like this is a National Conversation in the u. S. Right now people talk about race people talk about the last 400 games of American History as a historian what do you see happening what is happening here. Well i have to echo britneys comments and her feelings and sentiments about the 6900 its extraordinary its a masterful endeavor and i am so grateful to hannah jones and the other contributors as well what i think is really interesting about this moment is that we are in a trance era we are in the trump era an era in which White Nationalism White Supremacy and racial terror have. A mainstay had made it part of a facet of our everyday lives and so to be having this conversation in this moment a moment where you would think conversations around these issues before closed is quite promising and its really and during commune really inspiring to me and motivates me to deeply invest in this project and make sure that it many people possible know about it too much i want to show some of our audience the essay titles that incredibly for vocative essay titles of that a part of this but really making people think have a look a on my laptop this is the lead story the lead essay at democracies founding ideals force when they were written back americans afford to make them true im going to give you 2 more recruiting educational malpractise why slavery is mis taught and worse in american schools is really shaking up the narrative of america and one more 400 years after enslaved africans with a sports virginia most american still dont know the full story of slavery racism is such a major issue in the state its such an uncomfortable thing to talk about tim why do you think this project has great traction. Well because i think were at a Pivotal Moment in our history as a country right now where the combination of demographic and cultural change has brought us to point where people of color are thankfully in a position to demand that truth be told and those in the old guard who have been holding back that truth for their own reasons for a very long time are losing their ability to exercise that hedge amount of control over the narrative and thats an amazing incredible thing you know James Baldwin said something a little over 50 years ago that i think is is still very important today he was talking about white folks when he said it he said these innocent people are trapped in a history they do not understand and until they understand it they cannot be released from it what he was saying was that white folks ability to lie to ourselves and to others about history has trapped us it doesnt just trap the victims of in slave mint and White Supremacy the targets of that system it also traps the practitioners and the beneficiaries in a false narrative that leads us to places that make it impossible to build multicultural democracy so i think this series is absolutely a gift as as the others have said and i think not only for people of color but for white folks to finally well have to deal with real history not the not the nonsense about George Washington and the cherry tree and not telling a lie and ben franklin flying a kite and discovering electricity or whatever it was we were told as children but the actual story the good the bad and the very ugly that have brought us to this place that is something that i think anyone whos interested in history ought to be excited about when i think heres i think its important about what 10 just said its not just about the story that has been told its about connecting the dots from the truth of all of the moments that were covered 1619 and so many that want to where that has brought us to now until we understand our history we will be doomed to repeat it and we absolutely. We are repeating it were repeating and extending the legacy of slavery through mass incarceration in the u. S. We are can we are continuing to extend the legacy of slavery through educational malpractise not just in how poorly we teach about slavery but also about how poorly we teach black children in this country there are so many ways in which the manifestations of slavery continue to haunt america and americans every single day and so this is not just about reckoning with our past its also clearly about reckoning with our president and to tims point when white people get ahold of this its about understanding the story and then understanding your current responsibility to be an antiracist so bring it on youre saying that if i want to give this you stephanie but i want to pick up on britneys point bad as another continuation and extension of that legacy into modern day life this is one of the point that people are picking up on so maureen says not only did in slave labor clear land and build infrastructure but the profits and business of slavery said the shipping industry created the wealth of new england traders and later fueled the Industrial Revolution based on cotton mills someone else put it very simply almost summing up with that person said this is another person has our story on twitter who says the wealth of this nation and others would not have been possible without the use of slave so stephanie talk to us about the rim of the cations that were seeing in modern day life. Sure i mean i think its really important to understand that you know we we tend to think of slavery as a Regional Institution one that was a brutal institution but not necessarily connected to our nation more broadly and what historians of slavery and capitalism have been showing really since the 1930 s. The 1940 s. With. British caribbean historian Eric Williams that slavery was fundamental to the emergence of the development of capitalism and global capitalism so thats very much the case in the United States on as those wonderful tweets underscore slavery was fundamental to the development of industrialization in the north you have the cotton by and sleep people for example being put be shipped to the north in order to be processed and made into textiles in northern textile mills you have hot and being shipped to britain im in order to you know do the same exact thing so the the the labor and the products of enslaved people became fundamental to the development of industrialization and subsequently global apple is on im in so i think our story im seems to be a uniquely american one but its very much im a global one and i think thats one of the things that 61000 project drives home guess what im not hearing here make the case for that 16 or until the founding of the founders of the United States should be sort of those black americans that built america i mean can he make that connection between slavery and where we are right now in the states but im not hearing you making that case to the head i what i was just out. If you dont understand reynolds yet again i would i would love to respond to that i absolutely i was really so wonderful question to you and to pose i meant to center this conversation the question on that that you let out what it. Which is should we think of African Americans or african descended people particularly those that that arrived in 69. 00 and you continue to ride there after as our true Founding Fathers and mothers i would add and i would argue that they should certainly be counted among them and i say that because when you think about the things that make our Founding Fathers and mothers im remarkable all of those things African American african just that it people african captives began to do immediately upon arrival in in the United States or in the bay area that we would nap and to get to be the United States they found that there were injustices perpetrated against the government they aired those grievances to that government to local and federal governments and then they face struck out they took up arms and they fought to to secure their freedom in some cases they won in many respects they did not so i think the things that make our founding father from our people are the things that african descent people have been doing since before 6900 but certainly within the context of slavery and in merican slavery have been doing since 61 things i think it is important to center im 61000 and that story of american democracy and also to recognize african descended people those who came in 61000 there after as are certainly of very important founders Founding Fathers and mothers right and i would just have to that you know if you if you go to the museum of africanAmerican History and culture in d. C. Theres a rather extraordinary point in the museum there are many of them but one of them is this point where there is a statue of Thomas Jefferson and behind him bathed in light is this granite wall right and has his famous words all men are created equal endowed by their creator with certain and even of all right of course when he wrote those words he owned about 230 other human beings so its clear he didnt believe them but whats interesting is that between that granite wall and the statue of jefferson is a nother ball on which the names of the human beings that he owned are located now who in that equation believed jeffersons words. Was it jefferson or was it the people he owned as property to the extent that the answer is obviously the latter you have to give credit to enslave the persons and their progeny and those who fought for justice as the actual founders and the only ones who ever believed the words that the ones we call founders put down on paper the 2nd point id make and it goes back to all that weve been talking about is about how the past affects the present and why i think so many people some have had a hard time with this series those on the right critique it is that they desperately want to act as if inertia is only a property of the physical universe and not the Socio Economic political cultural or historical what happens in one generation affects the next and the next and the next until that force is stopped it is like the 2nd law of thermodynamics in that regard and so not only do we have the accumulation of wealth for white folks because of that history now a 15. 00 to 1. 00 gap between white and black 12. 00 to 1. 00 between white and brown but we also have other things in history that continue to repeat i would beg to remind the listeners and viewers that the oldest plate in the american political playbook going back to the 16th hundreds is the one that we see being played in coal right now what is that place it is rich white men telling not rich white people that their enemies are black and brown and that literally but it ends in the colonies when the elites does i did they have to divide and conquer working people from one another they have to create the white race to get poor europeans who they had no love for to think that their allies were the rich as opposed to the black and brown folks who were alongside them that is the same plate that donald trump is calling today so the task affects the present in lots of ways and 10 as youre thinking youre getting a lot of clapping a moet here then and our razor mode is that our arran are you to because people agree with you i want to share one of them this is c. B. Who says the u. S. Was born out of contradiction the constitution says were all created equal while we were in chains we thought. To make the constitution a reality American Culture really is black culture so keeping that in mind i want to share a big comment from someone who pitched the idea of us covering this 400 the anniversary a while back this is Steven Thomas hes an organizer and a lecturer and harrisburg virginia and heres his take black people commemorating the 400th anniversary of the violent capture kidnapping arrival of the 1st in sleep africans 2 Point Comfort now fort monroe in Hampton Virginia the brutal and surprising institution of american slavery continues to perpetuate a legacy of racial well inequality as recent studies reveal that africanamerican households have a median wealth of 0 within the next 35 years fundamentally the same as it was when i ancestors were brought here 400 years ago with nothing this country has a truth and Reconciliation Commission and the Reparations Program and package for black people it whatever to be a land of opportunity free of the vestiges of White Supremacy. So britney you heard a z tell the comment there what then do we do with this information a lot of us have already known it others are learning things new myself included learning new things from the series but then what do we do with it. I believe the commenter is absolutely right so that it is a time for truth certainly for reconciliation and then for recompense that we actually make right and make good on the debt that is owed in the form of reparations but this is the truth face rate so if we now have the 161000 project and other projects like 13 from a reducer in may and when they see us in the work of activists and organizers like myself all around the country weve got these moments and movements throughout history that can expand on the truths that means that teachers have to pick up that truth that means that pastors have to pick up the truths they need the people who need teens at workplaces need to pick up that truth and make the truth the curriculum by which they operate from for the rest of this year lets say the next few months at the very least that is the truth but then we actually have to come to reconciliation you know tim wifely talked about the kind of blowback that is coming not just from the right i would say but basically from people who would be much more comfortable if we ignored this truth and those are the folks that were will require a level of learning most certainly but they are the folks that have to reconcile with us those are the folks that have to say not only is reality forever changed by slavery but those are also folks that have been sad directly benefit from the legacy of this thing and therefore what do i otoh what is the power that i am forced to share to ensure that the future is different than the past and the present so i completely agree with the comments are weve got to talk of our troops weve got to talk about reconciliation we absolutely have to talk about reparations youve spoken about how this entire project is looking at 61000 in a very different way and when incredibly educational the New York Times actually have partnered with the Pulitzer Organization and they have created Educational Resources we could live one of the senior team who is actually in a school early on this morning in North Carolina teaching teaches and we wanted to know what impact could this possibly have this idea of looking at history and very different way from 61000 this is what he told us. This project will change the way that kids learn about slavery because it will. Show it will challenge students to think about the humanity of the people who were in slaved and brought to this country the work that they contributed the ingenuity the resilience is going to open discussions about the role that many people have to have played in fighting for a stronger democracy in this country and also the role the way that our history can and present be better understood by bringing in stories that are not traditionally heard. And bring in the stories our communities helping us is so important this is leticia on twitter he says i sent my kids history teacher and principal links to the project the free p. D. F. Plus the poster sensors teacher curriculum they can teach beyond m. L. K. The underground railroad grows a park and go into senators cowboys wall street plus so much more stephanie for you what do you think is important to learn about how to then teach this and classroom. So as a as a historian of slavery as an instructor that centers the history of slavery in my merican history classes i often have College Level students come to me frustrated and they argue that this is not something they had they had ever learned before coming into my class or before coming to college and i think what the 6900 projects is doing by partnering with this with the Pulitzer Center is an extraordinary endeavor in large part because it doesnt just walk the walk it talks the talk it gives tall teachers it gives parents it gives anyone thats really interested the resources to to develop to implement the 61000 project in the classroom step that you expose students to this knowledge study i have to ask you this im on your Instagram Account right now i want people to know how deeply invested you are in this topic so one of your previous ones how white remains investment in slavery has shaped american you are use to blow in peoples minds about the concept of slavery what really happened from a historical point of view when you look at everybody whos involved in the picture tell us one thing that were amaze our audience that youve always known that you know shock people. So many people you know were kind of flabbergasted when this. Large majority of white women voted for trump and have subsequently voted for. Problematic candidate lets just say and so as a story of slavery on my book in particular look that white womens Economic Investment in the institution of slavery and what it shows is that they have long been invested in White Supremacy the project of White Supremacy not simply as its been officially areas but as people who are sitting at the table designing the system designing the system of Racial Discrimination White Supremacy and so i think whats fundamental to understand about the 61000 project too is when i think of slavery as a masculine masculine regime one that was dominated by men but as my work shows and other other scholars work shows white women were fundamental to to the development of the institution of slavery as well even if they couldnt vote and they couldnt be politically active in ways that we imagine meant to be as a term i want to play a comment from someone else whos learned something from this and wants to take it on hes an educator in new york and this is jose what he learned the 1619 project gives me hope for any number of visas but primarily because as a matter i look forward to the framing mathematics from the Vantage Point of the most ready disadvantaged those that are sitting need hand had a desired coach who responsive a sustaining education for years are given license to do so because the 16000 projects that our system process to let him out of education from that lends. So ted when it comes to an educational reeducation how do we educate people that black history is American History well you know i mean i think you can look at other examples of how this has been done and why it is and how its been valuable so for example in tucson arizona over the last decade theres been a big debate about chicano studies Mexican American studies there was a Great Program which the state unfortunately tried to get rid of and did for several years the courts have now ruled against the state for having done that but this program which taught history and literature and science and math through this chicano lens had a profound effect on the performance of the mostly chicano not entirely but mostly latino and latino students who went through the program 70 percent roughly of the students who went through that program where the material was taught to a culturally relevant mens went to college similar students who were also she conics but did not go to the program only went to college at a rate of about 17 percent so what that tells us is that when we teach through a culturally relevant lens where people can see themselves in the story and not just as victims but as resistance to injustice which is whats so great about this project its not simply presenting slavery as the story of what was done to black people its a story about what black people did in response to oppression as with the case in tucson which a context history in Mexican American studies that has the ability to in figure rate learning because it infests learning with a social purpose is not just about meeting a state standard passing a test getting a job getting into college its about collective liberation that excites young people in ways that oftentimes regular educational theory doesnt tell stephan like britney he always excited alice thank you so much for bringing your pass on the outs how much knowledge to the strong to the restaurant they will enter this from nate who says teachers response will for teaching American History need to begin far before 776 to understand the us now we need to understand how it all began with the parenting of the land and the exploitation of that and enslaved human beings i will use the 619 project to teach the truth.
