通过将奴隶制的后果和美国黑人的贡献置于美国叙事的中心，来重新构建美国的历史。“民主”、“种族”、“音乐”、“资本主义”、“恐惧”和“正义”这几集改编自《纽约时报》排名第一的畅销书《1619计划:一个新的起源故事》，探讨了奴隶制的遗产如何塑造当代美国生活的不同方面。
In keeping with the original project, the series seeks to reframe the country’s history by placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions of Black Americans at the very center of our national narrative. The episodes — “Democracy,” “Race,” “Music,” “Capitalism,” “Fear,” and “Justice” — are adapted from essays from The New York Times No. 1 bestselling “The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story” and examine how the legacy of slavery shapes different aspects of contemporary American life.
