The 1619 Project

Inspired by her signature red hair, we created this tea to honor award-winning journalist, Nikole Hannah-Jones. On May 9, 2023, Brooklyn Tea hosted an intimate screening of the 1619 Project docu-series, including an in depth talk and book signing of her best selling book. 

ABOUT THE 1619 PROJECT

The 1619 Project launched in August 2019 with a special issue of The New York Times Magazine, including essays and creative works by journalists, historians, and artists. The project illuminates the legacy of slavery in the contemporary United States, and highlights the contributions of Black Americans to every aspect of American society. In the years since its launch, The 1619 Project and the conversations it has sparked have expanded through new resources, including a podcast, a book-length anthology, and a children's book.
