<p class="gmail-has-medium-font-size">I enjoy teaching undergraduate courses
at Sussex on the coming of the American Civil War, Civil War memory and
African American history since Reconstruction and in 2019 taught an MA
course on modern African American history at the Charles University in
Prague.</p>

<p>Some questions people have about this Project include: What is the
1619 Project? How can something that’s supposedly been true since the
beginning of the nation only surface now? Have there been other times
when history has been “rewritten” or “revised”? How do you make sense of
these fights about what’s historically true? Why dredge up the past?</p>
