In late August 1619, a ship arrived in the British colony of Virginia bearing a cargo of twenty to thirty people stolen from Africa. Their arrival led to the barbaric and unprecedented system of American chattel slavery that would last for the next 250 years. This is sometimes referred to as the country's original sin, but it is more than that: It is the source of so much that still defines the United States.

The New York Times Magazine's award-winning 1619 Project issue reframed our understanding of American history by placing slavery and its continuing legacy at the center of our national narrative. This book substantially expands on that work, weaving together eighteen essays that explore the legacy of slavery in present-day America with thirty-six poems and works of fiction that illuminate key moments of oppression, struggle, and resistance. The essays show how the inheritance of 1619 reaches into every part of contemporary American society, from politics, music, diet, traffic, and citizenship to capitalism, religion, and our democracy itself.

This book that speaks directly to our current moment, contextualizing the systems of race and caste within which we operate today. It reveals long-glossed-over truths around our nation's founding and construction--and the way that the legacy of slavery did not end with emancipation, but continues to shape contemporary American life.

Great for super chewer.
Color: Red
Update to original review: After leaving initial review the seller reached out and asked how to fix it the issue. I was willing to try same product again. They sent me two and I have had no problems with either of the new ones. Great communication from seller. My dog loves the treat In the center and chews on the product forever. She has not been able to get the top off of either of the new ones. Thanks!

PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE SIZE.
Color: Red
I take full responsibility for not paying closer attention to the size specifications. If you have a smaller breed like a Yorkie, Maltese, or a toy Poodle, this product is perfect for your pup. However, for larger dogs, this is utterly inadequate. It won't entertain them for even 20 seconds, let alone 20 minutes.
