The 1619 Project Embraced by Virginia College Admissions Organization
The Potomac and Chesapeake Association for College Admission Counseling recently posted a statement on their website in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.

A series of essays published by the New York Times last year, the 1619 Project reframes U.S. history by arguing that 1619, the year slaves were first brought to Jamestown, is the year of America’s true founding. In partnership with the Times, the Pulitzer Center created a curriculum based on 1619 that they distributed to over 3,500 schools.
