The New York Times Magazine launched the 1619 Project online, foregrounding slavery's legacies and Black contributions in United States history. Essays and cultural work challenged conventional national origin stories. The project became a contested intervention in public history; documenting its launch does not require treating every historical interpretation within it as uncontested.
