Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - 1619 project

I hope you are not implying that the many historians who have criticized the 1619 project have not written proper history themselves. 

The project may have helped popularize African American history, but it has also provided a convenient target for those who would ignore more well researched history to focus on the mistakes of the project as an excuse to return to propagandistic history. The ultimate effect of the project remains to be seen. I do hope for the best.

Historians who are knocking the 1619 project should commend the project for popularizing the under-represented history.  If you do not like the historiography of the 1619 project, go ahead and write your own proper history.
