The first product of Lionsgate's collaboration with The New York Times, Oprah Winfrey's Harpo Films and Hannah-Jones, the series will follow The 1619 Project, an ongoing series that connects the centrality of slavery in history with an unflinching account of brutal racism that endures in so many aspects of American

shes a c00n too concerned with showcasing black subservience. :hubie:

Oprah Winfrey, The New York Times and Lionsgate are partnering on a series of feature films and television shows based on “The 1619 Project.”

The collaboration was announced Wednesday, nearly a year after the Times debuted “The 1619 Project” series to re-examine the legacy of slavery in the United States on the 400th anniversary of the first Africans’ arrival in Virginia. Nikole Hannah-Jones, who was the architect of the series, won a 2020 Pulitzer Prize for commentary.

“We took very seriously our duty to find TV and film partners that would respect and honor the work and mission of ‘The 1619 Project,’ that understood our vision and deep moral obligation to doing justice to these stories,” Hannah-Jones said. “Through every step of the process, Lionsgate and its leadership have shown themselves to be that partner, and it is a dream to be able to produce this work with Ms. Oprah Winfrey, a trailblazer and beacon to so many Black journalists. I am excited for this opportunity to extend the breadth and reach of ‘The 1619 Project’ and to introduce these stories of Black resistance and resilience to even more American households.”

Hannah-Jones will serve as the creative leader and producer in developing feature films, television series, documentaries, unscripted programming and other forms of entertainment with Black creative voices. Caitlin Roper, an editor of ‘The 1619 Project’ and head of scripted entertainment at the Times, will also produce.

“From the first moment I read ‘The 1619 Project’ and immersed myself in Nikole Hannah-Jones’s transformative work, I was moved, deepened and strengthened by her empowering historical analysis,” said Winfrey.

“The 1619 Project” explored how slavery shaped all aspects of society, from music and law to education and the arts. It included Hannah-Jones’ essay “America Wasn’t a Democracy Until Black Americans Made It One;” Matthew Diamond’s essay “American Capitalism Is Brutal. You Can Trace That to the Plantation;” Jamelle Bouie’s “What the Reactionary Politics of 2019 Owe to the Politics of Slavery;” and a collection of original poems and stories from writers including Clint Smith, Yusef Komunyakaa, Eve L. Ewing, Reginald Dwayne Betts, Barry Jenkins and Jesmyn Ward.

“For many Americans, ‘The 1619 Project’ was a great awakening and a true history that you probably never learned in school,” said Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer. “For others, the project was a fresh analysis of the historical record by one of the world’s leading media authorities.”

The announcement did not list specific projects or the timeline for completion.

“Since the publication of ‘The 1619 Project’ last year, we have been searching for the right partners to expand the reach of its message into film and television while preserving the authenticity of its voice,” said New York Times assistant managing editor Sam Dolnick. “We believe that Lionsgate and Oprah Winfrey are the perfect combination of partners who understand the editorial integrity of The Times and the gravity of The 1619 Project’s message, and have the reach, resources, compassion and talent relationships to join with us and with Nikole in producing films, television and other programming for a global audience that do justice to the project.”

you have a right to be not too optimistic.

she never ever had on Dr Ben, Dr Clarke, Dr Van Sertima. she has a history of not showcasing black excellence so i wonder her intents.


all her presentations are of black subservience in one form or another. i really think she wants white people to call her the greatest black person of all time or something? i know she doesn't care about black men. :hubie:

Oprah got on by having Hollywood embrace her thats it, and made a fortune off the advertising to her station. she never had kids never married but seen as some mother of America. its so ridiculous, steadman lives in the front yard like a dog kennel and there are so many ills about her. i see malicious intent.

why is she obsessed with keeping African American men as little boys never growing to their full horizons because there is an influx mainly harpo studios coming with this "you weren't shyt you wont be shyt, thank God for Oprah" films. these arent educational joints like the bill cosby presentation in the late 70s ... this is 2021 her next few flicks all slavery butler type shyt!

to hell with her. :hhh:

As a supposed descendent of these first group of "Africans" that were bought here, who has been researching this shyt since I first learned about it 20 years ago, and still take time out of my life to go and clean up our families grave site from time to time, I'm here to tell you this is all bullshyt.

It's only the first documented case among the British of "Africans" coming here.

Even if you don't believe we were already here before Europeans, you must know that the Spanish and French were here before the British and there were plenty of black people that travelled here under those banners and lived in those territories way before 1619.

i know there were a large amount of black people during and after the french revolution so what you are saying is on point there and confirmed by the likes of Dr Ivan Van Sertima and Dr Ben.

the british africans you are speaking of i think might have been during the bacons rebellion 1650, where backs and whites no matter what color lived in the same conditions and had the same wages. this is where they started to coin the term "white". anyway these theologians and historians know the real and it is a shame that the scholars of today cant get the history from the start.

props on the knowledge :salute:

Most Smithsonian museum affiliates acknowledge the African presence pre England and say that the first Europeans showed up with Africans... And almost say that Africans knew how to show them because they've been here before but
They will never blatantly say it. The fact that they go that far let's me know they know.

Exactly.

Of course they know breh.

They also know that black people have been fed their bullshyt story for so long that they no longer have to attempt to hide the truth.

A nikka will fight you over this today before a cac will.
