I thought that was parody, but they are serious
The 1620 Project is a rich collection of scholarly voices, gathered to refute the New York Times’ 1619 Project and provide broader pictures of American history. We are proud to feature these diverse voices in essays, podcasts, video interviews, and transcripts.

Today (March 4, 2020) the Pulitzer Prize selection committee announced the 2020 winners of the Pulitzer Prizes. In an unsurprising turn, the Committee gave its commentary award to Nikole Hannah-Jones’ and The New York Times’ 1619 Project.
How did a piece of historical commentary that misrepresents central elements of the American founding, rejects rigorous historical analysis, and elevates proudly biased distortions of history win the most prestigious prize in journalism?
The Pulitzer Prizes, launched in 1917, are dedicated to “Honoring excellence in journalism and the arts.” Yet despite this commitment to excellence, the committee opted to award a prize to a seriously flawed and poorly sourced series of articles. Hundreds of historians have diagnosed myriad historical inaccuracies promoted the 1619 Project, whose lack of rigorous scholarship led it to serial misrepresentations of the historical record.

mainstream historical accounts of the U.S. (and any country) have always been politicized. History is an inherently politicized field.

I followed the story, and I expected the "outcry" to generate a book/documentary deal for the critics. Covid-19 pandemic ruined their plans, because people are focused on survival right now. Even the base of supporters who they counted on to get angry and fuel their projects don't care.
