Resources From My One-Year-After-TED Event on Living While Black
On Thursday May 21, I hosted a live stream show / discussion built around my 2019 TED talk “How To Deconstruct Racism One Headline At A Time.” The audience tuned in from Twitch, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and my own website baratunde.com.
If you missed it, here it is at one hour, 11 minutes of awesome.
At the end I promised to combine all the resources I recommended or those that emerged from the viewers into one place. This is that place. If you missed the show, you can re-watch. Regardless, these resources are likely useful if you care about justice.
Thanks to Patty Hartwell who shared with us this fact during the live stream: “On this day in 1892, Ida B Wells published a column exposing lynchings of African American men.” Here is a full account of that editorial and the conditions that preceded and followed its publication (with a cameo by Frederick Douglass!).
The Legacy Museum and the National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Alabama are must-visit places, but since getting to Montgomery is unlikely for most in the near future, view the Lynching In America exhibit online
