'1619 Project' author Nikole Hannah-Jones's $33K taxpayer-funded speaking fee sparks outrage
The combined sum of $55,850 paid to Hannah-Jones and Kendi, which surpasses the annual starting salary of a Fairfax County librarian, prompted local residents to express outrage, particularly after the library was forced to shorten operating hours this past summer due to “ongoing staff recruitment challenges.”
“The 1619 Project,” a book which started out as a New York Times Magazine series, examines the role of slavery in our nation’s founding.The Post has sought comment from Kendi, Hannah-Jones and Fairfax County Public Library. Last month, Fairfax County Public Library paid more than $22,000 to “anti-racist” Ibram X. Kendi for a one-hour, virtual speech.The contract also states that “any additional services, appearances, requests or activities” that Hannah-Jones provided and which was not stipulated in the contract “may require additional fees.”
