Summary
"Since the 1827 publication of Freedom's Journal, the first newspaper to be published by free Black men in the United States, Black folks have been making use of available media technologies to tell their own stories in their own ways. In We Tried to Tell Y'all, Meredith D. Clark explains how Black social media users took to "Black Twitter" to subvert the digital divide narrative while confronting centuries of erasure, omission, and mischaracterization of Black life in mainstream media. From chapters that recognize the "locomotive power" of Black women and femmes' intellectual labor to a thorough takedown of so-called cancel culture, We Tried to Tell Y'all offers readers a rich exploration of the latest chapter of Black media production. Regardless of the future direction of the platform, Black Twitter will forever remain an important moment in the long history of the Black press and Black social movements in the United States." -- Back cover.
