On Thursday, creator of the 1619 Project Nikole Hannah-Jones announced she is considering legal action against the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and its board of trustees over what she believes is “anti-democratic suppression.”
In a statement Thursday, legal counsel to Hannah-Jones said that despite a recommendation by the journalism department and senior university officials, she was denied the same tenure allotted to previous UNC Knight Chairs. Hannah-Jones is being represented by three organizations, including Levy Ratner PC and Furgeson, Chambers & Sumter P.A., and the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund.More Related News
