Project 1619 INC

Project 1619 Inc. is a non-profit organization that is credited for starting the 1619 movement.
For the past twenty-five plus years members of Project 1619 Inc. have been the catalyst to change the narrative of the landing of the first enslaved Africans to arrive in the Virginia colony at Point Comfort, today's Fort Monroe,  in Hampton, VA. 

Transatlantic slave trade, just like the systematic elimination of the Native American Indian in the United States, and the Holocaust in Germany, are human tragedies that changed the world. We cannot change history or the impact that it had on past generations;  but we should always recognize and learn from the perils and transgressions of mankind’s inhumanity against one another."     -Calvin Pearson, Founder, Project 1619, Inc
