Just Something Interesting: This week, New York Times Magazine released a special issue called the 1619 Project, a collection of essays analyzing the lasting effects of slavery on our nation's development. I have not read the entire thing myself yet, but it's got people buzzing and may be of interest to you as students of history. If you're interested in checking it out, I've linked the magazine here: pulitzercenter.org/sites/default/files/full_issue_of_the_1619_project.pdf
