Alpha News reporter Willis Krumholz recently sat down with Katherine Kersten, a senior policy fellow at the Center of the American Experiment, and Rebekah Hagstrom, headmaster of Liberty Classical Academy and host of “Education Nation,” to discuss The New York Times’ 1619 Project.
Marc Durkin, producer and co-host of “Education Nation,” also joined the discussion.
