Manage episode 346628684 series 3394317
Since Elon Musk acquired Twitter, Black social media users have seen an increase of racist and hateful trolling. This has caused some notable Black users to leave the platform. But what happens if there is a mass exodus? In this episode, we dig into why Black Twitter is so important to the culture and connections of Black folks. We speak with scholar Henry Louis Gates to learn how the digital spaces today are rooted in the ways enslaved folks communicated. We also speak with professor and researcher Deen Freelon to learn what happens to Black creativity when those networks are threatened.
