The University of North Carolina Wilmington paid 1619 Project writer Nikole Hannah-Jones $16,670 to speak at a 55-minute university event.

According to a copy of the contract between Nikole Hannah-Jones and the University of North Carolina Wilmington obtained by Fox News, the university is also responsible for her airfare, transportation, meals, and lodging for up to two nights.

The event consisted of a 40-minute speech from Hannah-Jones and a 15-minute Q&A period. The contract lists a 15-minute meet and greet with students, but is crossed out in the signed version of the contract., in which community members"join in discussions of literary craft and current issues of the profession."

In this May 21, 2016, file photo, Nikole Hannah-Jones attends the 75th Annual Peabody Awards Ceremony at Cipriani Wall Street in New York. "I'm glad it didn't come out of student fees, which is often where speaker fees come out of. I'm really glad it wasn't student fees," Robinson said."It was not the best use of funds. There are other writers available to talk about the same topic at a much lower cost. And I think the university would have been better served going to some other writer if they really wanted to talk on this topic.

Misrepresenting history pays! You go girl, bet their are plenty of guilty, ignorant white liberals with lots of money to wash away the sins of slavery and bigotry. Amazing most of their ancestors arrived in the 1900s.

So?

Good for her that she’s privileged to get that much money for an event.

Who should be mad is the students. So many colleges across the country pay big money for people on the right or left to speak. Especially when its a white nationalist that cost them huge sums in police escorts.

If that surprises you you’ll hate what they pay the football and basketball coaches
