ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
“1620: A Critical Response to the 1619 Project” by Peter W. Wood offers a thorough critique of The New York Times’ 1619 Project. Wood challenges the project’s central thesis, which claims that slavery is the true foundation of the United States, starting with the arrival of enslaved Africans in 1619. The book examines the historical context of slavery, the American Revolution, and the tensions that arose between the North and South. Wood emphasizes the importance of presenting a balanced history that incorporates both the struggles and ideals of American liberty and justice, rather than solely focusing on racial oppression.
