Hannah-Jones spoke about the book and weighed in on such adjacent topics as the right’s manufactured Critical Race Theory controversy, conservative school boards banning racially-themed books, being denied tenure at her University of North Carolina alma mater due to backlash against “The 1619 Project,” accepting a tenured position at Howard University and more.
