In 2020, Square One Yoga Collective began its first gathering of the Antiracism Book Club. Our next reading selection is: The 1619 Project.
The 1619 Project launched in August 2019 with a special issue of The New York Times Magazine, spearheaded by Nikole Hannah-Jones which included essays and creative works by journalists, historians, and artists. The project explores the history of slavery in the United States and was released to coincide with the anniversary of a ship carrying the first enslaved Africans to the English colonies. The project illuminates the legacy of slavery in the United States, and highlights the contributions of Black Americans to every aspect of American society.
The Book Club meeting for this title is scheduled for August 11, 2022, on‑line via Zoom. Now is a good time to begin a leisurely read, or to listen on Audible.
