New York Times 1619 project
mardi 4 mai 2021 à 02:00Some Republicans object to the New York Times' 1619 project, about the history of slavery in the US, claiming that it is wrong to call attention to the country's flaws.
Since some of these flaws continue to cause injustice today, I believe as a general principle that we should pay attention to them, not cover them up. Therefore, I would like to look at the 1619 Project and see what it says.
I am blocked from doing so because its web site insists on running nonfree software (written in Javascript) in my browser. Since I don't allow anyone to do that to me, the site shows me a blank window.
Does anyone know of another way I can look at that material? Perhaps a way that is not "interactive"?
Because of that injustice in the site's infrastructure, I must urge everyone to decline to visit that site, unless and until they fix it to be accessible from the Free World. I hope that school curriculum will likewise refuse to suggest the site as a resource until it has been fixed.
I hope that they fix it soon, to make the material available for viewing from the Free World. But we will need to press them to do it.
Does anyone know where we should direct the pressure?
