Nikole Hannah-Jones Gives '1619 Project' Critics The MLK Tribute They Deserve by quoting Dr. King's attacks on Systemic Racism in America - TheAHNShow with Michael Imhotep 1-18-22

 

On Monday, Jan. 17th, 2022, Nikole Hannah-Jones, the author of the bestseller “The 1619 Project,” posted a Twitter thread explaining that she was invited to give a speech about King but a small number of members of the group hosting her claimed that her presence dishonored the civil rights icon.

 

Hannah-Jones decided the best response would be to quote King accurately by reading excerpts of his speeches without mentioning explicitly that they were his words.

 

“And, whew, chile, it was AMAZING,” she said.

 

“When I revealed that everything I said to that point was taken from his speeches between ’56 and 67... Can you say SHOOK!” she tweeted.
