It is our great pleasure and honor to welcome Professor Nikole HannahJones, Knight Chair in Race and Journalism at the Howard University School of Communications at La Maison Française.

Together with Steve Clemons, Founding Editor at Large of the new global news company Semafor, Professor Nikole HannahJones will discuss the 1619 Project, which earned her the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for Commentary. Based on articles originally featured in The New York Times Magazine and later published as an anthology of essays and poetry, The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story led to a fascinating and complex national and international conversation on the role of race in American history.
