Bonus Episode: A Conversation with Nikole Hannah-Jones

In this special bonus episode, Call Number with American Libraries celebrates Preservation Week by looking at the 1619 Project, which uses historical records, essays, photos, audio, and more to reframe the consequences of slavery in the US and highlight the contributions of Black people to the American experience. American Libraries Senior Editor and Call Number host Phil Morehart speaks with Nikole Hannah-Jones, the creator of the 1619 Project and honorary chair of Preservation Week, about the project’s origins, her team’s research, controversies surrounding the project, and why community archives are vital to preserving history.
