A major Virginia public library system is reportedly paying “1619 Project” creator<\/a> and anti-racist author Nikole Hannah-Jones over $35,000 dollars for just one upcoming, hour-long speaking engagement.<\/p>\n

According to the Fairfax County Times<\/a> in Northern Virginia, Fairfax County Public Library staff have agreed to pay the controversial journalist a whopping $35,350 for an hour-long lecture at the McLean Community Center.<\/p>\n

The paper stated that the price tag amounted to $589 per minute of Hannah-Jones\u2019 speech.<\/p>\n

Hannah-Jones is most well known for her polarizing “1619 Project,” a collection of essays published by The New York Times that insists that America\u2019s founding history is steeped in more racism than has been traditionally taught.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One of the narratives established by the project is that the Revolutionary War was fought to protect and preserve the institution of slavery<\/a> from the British crown.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Historians have heavily criticized the work over such claims, among others, though Hannah-Jones stands by it. She recently defended the controversial journalistic project during a “Good Morning America” interview on Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After GMA host Robin Roberts asked Hannah-Jones to sum up her work, the writer described it up in one work<\/a>:, “Truth.”<\/p>\n

Hannah-Jones will be speaking on themes from the work at her expensive Feb. 19 Fairfax County speaking engagement.<\/p>\n

A program agreement form provided to Hannah-Jones by the county noted the title of the event speech, “The 1619 Project \u2013 A New Origin Story.”<\/p>\n

\u20181619 PROJECT’ CREATOR CLAIMS GOV. YOUNGKIN BLOCKING CRT IN SCHOOLS TO \u2019PROTECT FEELINGS OF WHITE CHILDREN’<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

It explained that the speaker would arrive at the event at “12:15 p.m.,” participate in a “VIP Event” from “12:30 p.m. to 1:10 p.m.,” and after a 50 minute “Green Room Break,” give a “40-45-minute” talk. The talk would be followed by 15 or so minutes of Q&A.<\/p>\n

The document also detailed the breakdown of the speaker\u2019s price tag, indicating it would cover her “First Class Airfare,” as well as provide funds for some of the speaker\u2019s “out-of-pocket expenses.” The county also agreed to pay for her “ground transportation.”<\/p>\n

According to the Times report, the Fairfax County Public Library will pay $29,350 of the fee, while the McLean Community Center will pay the rest.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It added, “Local taxpayers are raising issues with the expenditure,” especially with fact that the county paid $22,500 for “a 60-minute virtual discussion last month.”<\/p>\n

The Times noted that the combined payment amounts to “$57,850, or about the annual starting salary of about $54,421 for a librarian in Fairfax County.” The piece also claimed that last August, “library officials announced they were curtailing operating hours because of \u2018ongoing staff recruitment challenges.\u2019”<\/p>\n

The New York Post<\/a> quoted local Fairfax residents who were unhappy with the appearance. Michael Albin, a member of the Fairfax County Taxpayers Alliance, called it a “misuse of public funds for propaganda programming.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

He added, “She\u2019s invited to sabotage American history and ideals at a library talk, and when? \u2026 get this, on Presidents\u2019 Day weekend, a patriotic national holiday. If that isn\u2019t sabotage of our values, I don\u2019t know what is.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reported that Hannah-Jones spoke at the “Arlington Reads Signature Author Event” for the Arlington Public Library<\/a> in Virginia last September. During the event, the author discussed “The 1619 Project,” touting her belief that America is “one of the most unequal societies in the history of the world.”<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to Hannah-Jones and Fairfax County Public Library for a comment confirming the journalist’s price tag and more details on the content of her speech. They’ve provided no response as of filing time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
