2) Yes the #1619Project has pissed off some people by placing Blacks/AA squarely in the center of American history and sparked a much need national conversation about slavery and race!

YES! African American history is integral & central to American history, has been since its start. My Jewish grandparents only arrived in the US in the 1900s and 1920s and yet I believe their immigration is also part of American history albeit a much newer smaller chapter.
