Much has been written about the problems with The New York Times’ 1619 Project, criticisms the outlet has responded to with fingers in their ears.

During a question-and-answer session at the University of Virginia on Monday, Hannah-Jones demonstrated her approach to the intricacies of history by dismissing the criticism as “not legitimate” and saying nothing more. Mind you, those criticizing the project are the country’s most prominent historians.
