Blacks and the media

I am so excited to announce that I am taking a course entitled Race, Gender and the Media. Last time in class we watched this film in which gave us a little history on how the Black Press was started and drop some of the names of my mentors like Ida B Wells and S. E. Cornish. I guess it was exciting to see how people from all races where interested in the history and the development of the black press. After class, I stopped and talked to some of my white classmates about the movie and the information and from the conversation that where overjoyed about what they have just witnessed, this lost piece of history.
