EXCERPT:
STELTER: "I think we're going to look back some day and say, wait, they tried to ban the 1619 Project? We're going to look back and it's going to make no sense in 30 or 40 years. But is this just the whitelash in another form, Nikole? Some white Americans afraid to deal with the reality, so they don't want to hear it, so they try to ban it, and then some day their kids are going to laugh it off."
HANNAH-JONES: "I mean, I don't know. I think that this is a particularly dangerous moment because there's one thing to have right-wing media saying they don't — they don't like the 1619 Project, they don't agree with this 1619 Project, but it's quite something else to have politicians, from state legislators down to school boards, actually making prohibitions against teaching a work of American journalism or really any of these other texts.”
