"For many years, an active exchange of journalists between newsroom and classroom have been fostered in the view that is essential to improving standards. This is the story of one reporter's complicated path to becoming a faculty member. In 2020, the Hussman School of Journalism at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill opened discussions with Nikole Hannah-Jones, a journalist and opinion writer at the New York Times, about joining its faculty. Hannah-Jones had been responsible for "The 1619 Project," and effort that tried to recast the American story around the role that slavery had played." -from the author's Introduction
