“Our students benefit so much from the way you all have taken this project and turned it into curriculum across fields … It helps our world make sense to them. The work that you do matters. It has always mattered, but it’s even more critical today.”

NIKOLE HANNAH-JONES
Creator of The 1619 Project

“I really have to laud the Pulitzer Center for this [webinar]. It’s not just the journalist that’s getting to speak their piece, it’s also the people we report on that get to be a part of this as well—and that completely […] removes this power dynamic that exists between reporters and the people they report on. Thank you so much for this.”
