#BlackMovement #Afrosphere #BlackHistory #BlackProtest #AfricanAmerican #BlackTwitter #BlackMastodon Reminder from my ongoing research on Black protest from Black newspapers. In the mid-2000s, a lot of the new action was in the Afrosphere, Black blogs. Also ColorOfChange.Org . The first big Internet-organized Black campaign was the Jena 6 protest in 2007. People were calling it the "new Civil Rights Movement." You can really see the infrastructure being built, the lead-up to BLM.
