THE 1619 PROJECT A New Origin Story

Earphones Award Winner

by | Read by Nikole Hannah-Jones and a Full Cast

History • 19 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2021

Nikole Hannah-Jones, herself a persuasive narrator, has brought together a remarkable mosaic of voices, stories, and poems that tell the story of America through the lens of slavery. So much inspired writing and outstanding narrating in this audiobook make it difficult to select only a few to single out. The chapters by Bryan Stevenson, Ibram X. Kendi, Jamelle Bouie, and Hannah-Jones stay in mind. And the creative interludes from Rita Dove, Natasha Trethewey, and ZZ Packer are especially moving. This indelible compendium of history, journalism, and creative takes on the Black American experience expands on the NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE version and brings the listener a riveting and revealing audiobook. The variety of voices and views deepens listeners’ understanding of U.S. history and how it has been presented. A.D.M.
