Nikole Hannah-Jones, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and lead author of the 1619 Project, was denied tenure at her alma mater, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, due to her political beliefs.

This sets a terrible precedent for free expression, viewpoint diversity, and academic freedom on campus.

FIRE sat down with Jones to discuss her story, and the importance of free speech and academic freedom.
