American Experience presents a virtual PAST FORWARD conversation examining the role of the media in public awareness of the murders of Black Americans. This conversation is inspired, in part, by our streaming documentary 'The Murder of Emmett Till.'
Our panelists will discuss how publicity of racial violence and murder can both force society to confront it and reinforce a system of oppression. They will explore the responsibility and power of the media, the progress that has been made, and how institutions can change to protect Black lives from racist hatred and violence—starting with Emmett Till’s murder and bringing us through today.
Featured Guests:
Danielle McGuire: Award-winning historian, public speaker and author.
Allissa Richardson: Professor of Journalism at USC Annenberg and author of 'Bearing Witness While Black: African Americans, Smartphones and the New Protest #Journalism'
This conversation will be moderated by Kahlil Greene, the Gen-Z Historian and Yale's first Black student body president.
This virtual event will begin at 4pm Eastern Daylight Time.
This event is brought to you by AMERICAN EXPERIENCE.
