Everyone knows that history is never written once and for all because history continues to be made and we continue to be made by history. Keep researching and keep writing. The 1619 project is well researched for a newspaper project and critics who expect it to read like a doctoral dissertation miss the point that all written history is instructive to some.

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.
