Great interview ! We must know the past to avoid making the mistakes in the present and future. You can't be patriotic without acknowledge the imperfections, embracing them and making a change for the better. Approach the " 1619 project" with an open mind to be able soak in information being provided.

I think the misconception is that Minorities aren't hopeful. We are hopeful about our own future, but it's important for us to know our correct past and acknowledge that what we fight for, our thoughts and feelings are valid and important.

A must see documentary. Thank you so much Nicole. You are 1 of our most outstanding leaders

[darlenefarmer]

I would love to see this but I don't have Hulu. Am I able to see it on another platform? This is going to be a great show! Thank you for educating the public....in spite of what DeSantis is trying to do.

HNJ is one of my favorite public people. I understand fully how she feels about not being too optimistic about the change that is needed in Amerikkka. Amerikkka has gone through GREAT extremes in not creating a fair and equal our fight will probably NEVER end, AND we can NEVER stop fighting. That's unfortunate, but that's Amerikkka!

[candygurl]

Well said!!! Well said!! ❤ Holding our countries ideals and holding it TO THOSE IDEALS is patriotic.

I don’t see blacks, I see my fellow human beings

Lol...What a Joke and a lie of an organization.

[josephsonora]

All this history and those people still don't get respect. Not even from their own people too!

[janejohnson]

I see something positive happen. With spiritual eyes and ears.

[meghan]

I am looking forward to watching this series on Hulu.

[libbygriggs]

Great. Excellent. America can be better if it wants to be. open your mine and thoughts to the truth.l

There is a letter that a man named Horace Greely wrote to Abraham Lincoln asking him to use Black slaves to fight in the Civil War. Frederick Douglass even kept trying to convince Lincoln too to use the African Slaves. Lincoln wrote back to that man, Horace Greely, that HE DID NOT CARE, one way or the other, whether the slaves would be free or not--Lincoln's OWN WORDS (meaning...if HE allowed the slaves to fight, the objective was NOT their freedom!!!). He explained that HIS (LINCOLN) OBJECTIVE was to BREAK THE SOUTH FROM SUCCESSION FROM THE U.S AS A UNION, so TO END THE CIVIL WAR!!! So, HE was racist and NOT THE CONCERNED and the so-called honorable man, that White America & my ignorant Black American people think/thought that he was!!!!
Eyes need to be opened-WELL DONE!!!! Thanks Nikole!!!
