There is a version for young readers that might be more accessible. It is a picture book. The 1619 Project:Born on the Water. You could use it for reference.

I just listened to the NYT podcast (assuming it’s the same text?) and love the way it was told. And The episode on yacht rock (who knew this was a thing) gave terrific insight into some appropriation I’d never considered. So I’m not sure this comment helps with teaching, but I figure this knowledge will help me make the case for getting more factual history into my curriculum.

Working at a Digital Marketing Agency based out of Cochin with presence in USA & Canada, we cater to clients from India, US, UK, EU.
I'm the main POC for our largest client in India in FMCG, and it's our 4th year without a challenge. I'm one step below CXos of the company and two others are in the same level as me. We have a couple of junior execs. I make 53.8k per month now, I wanted to know if I'm getting underpaid or this is the best salary I can expect elsewhere in the region.

Looking for some advice here: I work for a client that loves me & I love him back as well. Get along super well with the creative team and we’re like “one team” .

I wouldn't have nearly as many issues with conservative principles if they weren't so hypocritical in how they enact them.

I'm not opposed to lowering taxes, smaller government, and respecting individual rights, but they simultaneously support bailing out big businesses, expanding church and state, and massive deficit spending to pay for dumb wars and tax loopholes for hedge fund managers.

I'd rather see our government provide food, healthcare, and shelter than any of the above things.
