.diedremichelle spoke with The 1619 Project's Nikole Hannah-Jones about Hulu's new documentary series, how she defines 'critical race theory,' and what comes next:
: Will this be the same audience as the essay series and the book, or do you want this to be a different audience?Oh, yes, I’m sure it will be a different audience, just because the reach of television as a medium is just so much greater than you can ever get from a magazine project or from a book. Since we announced and released the teaser, folks are like, “I’ve never got around to reading the book but I can’t wait to see the documentary.
It is a theory that tries to analyze the way that racism and racial disadvantage has been structured into our society. The way that it is systemic and therefore still replicates even though the legal barriers have fallen, which to me is not controversial at all. And just to be clear,is called Critical Race Theory. It’s not critical race theory, but certainly, I’ve been influenced by critical race theory and I believe in the theory.
But I’m also not the person who thinks I have all the answers about how reparations should look. And I think ultimately, reparations, what it looks like, needs to be decided by the people who should receive them.Diedre Johnson is a Los Angeles-based writer covering entertainment in its many forms.
