A Groundbreaking Book to Challenge Our Assumptions

In the wake of the 1619 Project, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones has crafted a groundbreaking book that reframes the narrative of American history and confronts the enduring legacy of slavery and racism. "New Origin Story" invites readers to embark on an extraordinary journey through our nation's past, challenging our assumptions and offering a fresh perspective on the events that have shaped our present.

Redefining America's Origins

Hannah-Jones argues that the traditional story of America's founding in 1776 is incomplete and inaccurate. She traces our true origins back to 1619, when the first enslaved Africans were brought to the shores of Virginia. This pivotal moment, she contends, laid the foundation for centuries of systemic oppression and inequality that continue to reverberate today.

A Tapestry of Personal Stories

"New Origin Story" is not merely a historical account; it is a tapestry of personal stories that vividly illustrate the lived experiences of Black Americans throughout history. Hannah-Jones draws upon a wide range of sources, including memoirs, letters, and interviews, to give voice to those whose voices have often been silenced or marginalized.

From the horrors of slavery to the struggles of Jim Crow and the ongoing fight for civil rights, Hannah-Jones weaves together a compelling narrative that exposes the systemic barriers that have hindered the full participation of African Americans in American society.

A Call for Reckoning and Reconstruction

"New Origin Story" is more than a book; it is a call for reckoning and reconstruction. Hannah-Jones challenges us to confront the full extent of our nation's history and its impact on our present and future. She argues that true progress can only be achieved through a fundamental re-examination of our values and institutions.

Hannah-Jones proposes a radical reimagining of education, criminal justice, and economic policies, all of which she argues are rooted in the legacy of slavery and racism. She calls for investments in affordable housing, healthcare, and education as a means to address the systemic inequalities that persist today.

A Powerful and Essential Read

"New Origin Story" is a powerful and essential read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of America's past and future. It is a book that will challenge our assumptions, provoke thought, and inspire action. Hannah-Jones's incisive writing and unwavering commitment to truth-telling make this book a must-read for anyone interested in race, history, and the future of our nation.

As we stand at a crossroads in American history, "New Origin Story" offers us a roadmap for a more just and equitable future. By embracing the lessons of our past and acknowledging the enduring impact of slavery and racism, we can create a truly new origin story for our nation, one that reflects the aspirations of all Americans.
