Woke Disney slammed for 1619 Project on Hulu by viewers who boycott the service trends now
Critics slammed Disney-owned streaming service Hulu for their 'woke' screen adaptation of Nikole Hannah-Jones' The 1619 Project, some saying the complexities of the topics are not properly translating to the screen.
The six-part Onyx Collective Hulu series by Hannah-Jones and executive produced by Oprah Winfrey 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 United States' national narrative.
Hulu's 1619 Project includes parts of Hannah-Jones' own background including what it was like for her growing up in Iowa with a black father and white mother.
Following its release critics, have argued a 'lack of facts,' 'dishonesty,' and described it to be 'unbearable' many viewers moving to cancel their subscriptions.

New York Post politics and culture writer Jon Levine ridiculed the caption for a post showcasing the series which read: 'The greatest story never told.'
'Never told, except literally nonstop for years!' quipped Levine.
Kingsley Cortes, a 2020 campaign member for former President Donald Trump, expanded on criticism, writing, 'Greatest story never told because it's fake.'
Others, including former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, slammed the project as a 'propaganda campaign on race' and Hoover Institution senior fellow Victor Davis Hanson said Hannah-Jones 'does not care about the truth.'
Critics slammed 'The 1619 Project' not only for promoting allegedly divisive rhetoric, 'sweeping claims', and historical errors but also for becoming an integral part of the curriculum in some schools across the country that have adopted a critical race theory lens to study history.
Scott Greer, Daily Caller alum and 'Highly Respected' podcast host called 'The 1619 Project' the 'pinnacle of ethno-narcissism' while radio host Erick Erickson slammed the video-streaming platform for '[engaging] in advancing the race-based revisionist lies about the United States.'
