Apparently, this needs to be said: My Twitter timeline is not official 1619 Project copy. The #1619project is written by an awe-inspiring group of journalists, historians and poets. Those interested in what it actually says can read original text in full: https://t.co/3MtzpJzGZe

This is the last thing I will say about this. The wording in question never appeared in the 1619 Project text. It appears nowhere in the printed copy, something easily verifiable as pointed out to you. It didn't appear in my essay nor any of the actual journalism we produced. https://t.co/O3GmV8cc9W
