I'm so glad you are interested in joining me for a group read of The 1619 Project by Nikole Hannah-Jones. Our group read will be designed to dig deep into reflection and discourse, with weekly discussion prompts. Some further reading resources may also be provided. Due to the nature of the topic, I have set up a few guidelines below to ensure that our group read is a safe space for everyone, especially BIPOC Littens. The legacy of 1619 and slavery in America continues to reach into all aspects of contemporary American society. I ask that all participants keep that in mind when engaging in discussions. Agreeing to the guidelines is a requirement for participating in the group read.

The start date is TBD, but will fall sometime in the first 3 weeks of January and continue through May. We will be reading and discussing one essay/chapter each week, starting with the Preface in Week 1.

Please fill out the form below if you are interested in participating, and contact me if you have any questions!

While reading this book, we will be pushed to examine difficult issues and truths. Therefore, it is important to approach this book with an open mind and heart. Is that something you can do? *

Yes

Please be cognizant of the language that you use in discussions to describe those who were enslaved. It is important to use “enslaved person” instead of referring to people as “slaves.” Remember that slavery is not who a person is, and referring to people as“slaves” effectively dehumanizes them. Do you agree to be careful with the words you choose when discussing those who were enslaved? *

Yes
