In Episode V of the Ill Literacy podcast, Heartland’s Tim Benson is joined by Dr. Phillip W. Magness to discuss his book, The 1619 Project: A Critique. They discuss the New York Times’ Pulitzer-winning project’s genesis, aims, and goals.
Magness describes what the 1619 Project gets grievously wrong about slavery, economics, and the motivations of the Founding Fathers, as well as areas where prominent critics of it are off base, including their critique of the project’s interpretation of Abraham Lincoln. They also talk about how the project’s editors have such a hard time accepting any criticism of their work.
