Video: Why Black History MUST Be Told By Black People
Noah Washington, the great-great-great-grandson of Booker T. Washington, said it plainly: Black people telling our own history isn’t just important—it’s vital.
“Nobody is going to tell our story like we tell our story.”
From the hot comb before church to the suspicious stare while crossing the street, we live the nuances others often miss. That’s why Black voices matter in media, film, journalism, and history.
If we don’t tell our stories, somebody else will—and they won’t tell it right. ✊🏾🖤
