<span style="font-weight: 400;">The 1619 Project</span>

An audio series from The Times observing the 400th anniversary of the beginning of American slavery.

Watch highlights of a symposium about how history is defined — and redefined — featuring historians, journalists and policymakers.

We asked you to share photographs and stories of your enslaved ancestors. The images and stories helped paint a picture of a too-often-erased American history.

We asked you how you learned about slavery in school. You told us about degrading role play, flawed lessons and teachers who played down its horrors.

The 1619 Project was conceived by Nikole Hannah-Jones. In this interview, she talks about the project and the reaction to it.

In the N.B.A., the very term “owner” has come under fire, as players, most of whom are black, assert self-determination.

Since January, The Times Magazine has been working on an issue to mark the 400th anniversary of the first enslaved people arriving in America.
