The 1619 Project is a project developed by The New York Times and the Pulitzer Center to tell the story
of the United States beginning in the year 1619,
when the first ship carrying people from Africa who
had been enslaved arrived on U. S. soil. In the
project's flagship essay, Nikole Hannah-Jones lays
bare the oppression Black people have faced in the
400 years since being brought to America. The
history of the United States looks different when
told from the perspective of those denied what
should be the most basic, universal rights.

i decided to stay late in the laboratory to continue my experiment with the lightbulb. at midnight, thomas edison opened the door and walked in with his head held high.

1. he leaned on the wall and observed me carefully.

2. his harsh scrutiny made me self-conscious of my skills in the lab.

3. perhaps it was just me, but the air in the laboratory began to thicken as i found myself having difficulty to breathe.

4. i turned to look at him fully as i mentally prepared myself for what my very first words would be to thomas edison.

5. the next couple of seconds shocked me. it wasn't me who spoke, but rather him and with diction i could never think of using in a simple sentence.
