The Pulitzer Center began a three-week takeover of Facebook’s Lift Black Voices hub Tuesday, where it will share content related to The 1619 Project.

The New York Times started The 1619 Project to mark the arrival Aug. 20, 1619, of a ship carrying more than 20 enslaved Africans in Point Comfort, a coastal port in the British colony of Virginia, representing the beginning of the system of slavery in what would eventually become the U.S.

The Pulitzer Center became an education partner in The 1619 Project in August 2019.

The primary theme of the Lift Black Voices takeover is “Centering the Stories of Black Americans,” and content will focus on culture and music, as well as investigating systems of injustice and stories of action and resilience.
