The Progressive Case for Patriotism
"Nor was she eager to share credit for this accomplishment with any other group of people. In her words, African Americans fought back alone against the forces of white supremacy that plagued the country prior to the Civil Rights Movement."
The speaker challenges the 1619 Project's core thesis by Nikole Hannah-Jones that African Americans fought back alone against white supremacy, citing historical evidence of white and Jewish allies. He notes that more founding members of the NAACP were white or Jewish than black, and that Jews made up half of non-black northern volunteers in the 1964 Mississippi Freedom Summer Project and half of civil rights attorneys in the South during the 1960s.
