Black Music is American Music.
To celebrate the culmination of The 1619 Project Read Along, One World and Hulu are proud to present a screening of The 1619 Project Hulu Original docuseries episode, “Music,” followed by a talkback between creator and executive producer Nikole Hannah-Jones and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and contributor Wesley Morris. Directed by Kamilah Forbes, “Music” delves into the unique legacy of Black music in United States, from Motown’s wide popularity to funk’s rebellious independence to today’s genre-breaking musicians. One of six episodes that brings a chapter of The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story to vibrant life, the “Music” episode celebrates the “uncapturable spirit” of Black music and maintains that Black music IS American Music.
The 1619 Project is The New York Times Magazine’s award-winning reframing of American history that placed slavery and its continuing legacy at the center of our national narrative. The project, which was initially launched in August of 2019, offered a revealing new origin story for the United States, one that helped explain not only the persistence of anti-Black racism and inequality in American life today, but also the roots of so much of what makes our country unique.
