SO WHAT ABOUT THE BLACK PEOPLE

SO THIS WEEK IN RACE, GENDER, AND THE MEDIA WE STUDIED HOW RACES ARE VIEWED IN THE MEDIA. I ACTUALLY DID A PROJECT OVER THE ASSASSINATION OF DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. AND THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS, BACK IN 1968 VERY FEW AFRICAN AMERICAN PEOPLE GRACE THE COVER OF THE DAILY. MATTER OF FACT WHEN DR. KING WAS KILLED ONLY ONE BLACK PERSON WAS QUOTED ABOUT THIS TERRIBLE TRAGEDY. WASNT THERE BLACKS AROUND TO GET QUOTES FROM OR WHERE THEY ALL BURNING DOWN THE CITY, LIKE IT WAS REPORTED. IT WAS A SAD DAY IN THE MEDIA.
