Launch of The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story
Co-presented by BAM, Greenlight Bookstore, and The Lit. Bar
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones comes to BAM to celebrate the book launch of The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story. She’ll be joined in conversation by award-winning author and journalist Ta-Nehisi Coates and the program will feature a reading by poet Jasmine Mans and a performance by Brooklyn Ballet.
The expansion of the award-winning essay series from The New York Times Magazine is a groundbreaking work of journalism that reframes our understanding of American history by placing slavery and its continuing legacy at the center of our national narrative. With the publication date set for a day later, attendees will be some of the first to receive their copies of this innovative work that weaves together essays, poems, and works of fiction.
ALL TICKETS: Tickets start at $45. All tickets include a copy of The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story to be picked up at the event
The safety of our audiences, staff, and artistic community is our top priority. All guests must show proof of vaccination and masks must be worn at all times. Please visit BAM's safety protocol page at BAM.org/safety for the most up-to-date information
