Happening next Thursday, March 17th, join the sfpubliclibrary as they host Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist nikolehannahjones and artivist nikkolas_smith as they discuss their lyrical picture book in verse. The 1619 Project: Born on the Water begins with a Black student who receives a family tree school assignment and she can only trace back three generations. Grandma gathers the family and the student learns not only the history of the enslaved African people, their contributions to the United States and their life, language and land that predates enslavement. We are looking forward to this panel🔥🔥🔥 Save the Date and follow the link for more INFO!!! =>buff.ly/3IWSyQz #1619Project #1619 #NikoleHannahJones #NikkolasSmith #BornOnTheWater #sanfranciscopubliclibrary #relevantbooks
