This presentation from Angela Schwendiman, Senior Lecturer in Eastern Washington University's Africana Studies Program, explores the evolution of black identity in a global society.
This presentation explores the evolution of black identity in a global society from groups and movements that sought to address lynching and other forms of racial oppression, to connecting African Americans to the roots, culture, and heritage of their motherland in the beginning of the 20th century, to Black Lives Matter, which seeks to achieve social justice and racial equality by establishing community through social media, thereby transcending race as a defining membership characteristic, while collectively focusing on the needs of the black community to dismantle systemic racism and, in the process, redefine blackness as a shared cultural experience.
