Nikole Hannah-Jones taunts ‘haters’ after 1619 Project wins Emmy AwardNikole Hannah-Jones shouted out her “haters” after “The 1619 Project” won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series.On Sunday, executive producers Jones, along with Oprah Winfrey, Roger Ross Williams, Shoshanna Guy and Kathleen Lingo were all among those who were handed a trophy for their work on the 2023 Hulu series.The series is based on Jones’ 2019 long-form journalism endeavor for The New York Times, which “aims to reframe the country’s history by placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions of Black Americans at the very center” of the founding of the United States.”After the project was published, five historians penned a letter to The New York Times demanding corrections for the errors they found. The most significant error was its claim that the American Revolution was fought in order to preserve slavery when most historians say it was a disrupter of slavery.Following the win, Deadline posted the headline, “Polarizing ‘The 1619 Project,’ Attacked By Conservatives, Earns Emmy Win For Oprah, Nikole Hannah-Jones, Roger Ross Williams & More'””I am perplexed that @DEADLINE felt the need to describe the #1619Project this way. But guess what — WE WON THE EMMY so write what you want. We do our work on behalf of the ancestors!” Hannah-Jones wrote in response to the headline.She followed up with a video of her holding her trophy while spinning and circles before giving the peace sign, alongside the caption, “Live footage of me twirling on the haters.”
