"To Be Human Is to Live With Moral Complexity and Existential Ambiguity"

"The ill-fated 1776 Commission and its report will likely be remembered, if they are remembered at all, for promoting the idea that Trumpian populist nationalism stands on one side and the 1619 Project on the other. But that's a false dichotomy. There is a message that stands in opposition both to the basic premise of the 1619 Project and to Trumpism."

Cathy Young at The Bulwark explores "[w]hat the conflict over the NYT extravaganza and the much-mocked Trump commission report is really about."

The World Socialist Web Site presents David North's introduction to the book The New York Times' 1619 Project and the Racialist Falsification of History.

And James Oakes at Catalyst writes that "[o]f the manifold failings of the 1619 Project, this may be the greatest: it all but erases the fact that, for the first seventy years of its existence, the United States was roiled by intense, escalating conflict over slavery, a conflict that was only resolved by a brutal civil war."
