The 1619 Project, in its totality, IS AN OPINION PIECE.
From Wikipedia:
Project
The project is to dedicate an issue of the magazine to a re-examination of the legacy of slavery in America, at the anniversary of the arrival of the first slaves to Virginia. The plan was to challenge the notion that the history of the United States began in 1776. The initiative quickly grew into a larger project.[14] The project encompasses multiple issues of the magazine, with related materials in multiple other publications of the Times as well as a project curriculum developed in collaboration with the Pulitzer Center, for use in schools.[14] The project employed a panel of historians and had support from the Smithsonian, for fact-checking, research and development.[15] The project was envisioned with the condition that almost all of the contributions would be from African-American contributors, deeming the perspective of black writers an essential element of the story to be told.[16]

The essays discuss details of modern American society, such as traffic jams and the American affinity for sugar, and their connections to slavery and segregation.[19] Matthew Desmond's essay argues that slavery has shaped modern capitalism and workplace norms. Jamelle Bouie's essay draws parallels between pro-slavery politics and the modern right-wing politics.[16] Bouie argues that America still has not let go of the assumption that some people inherently deserve more power than others.[20]
Back to my comment:
These "essays" are opinion pieces. Not historical scholarship.
