Building Critical Race Media Literacy: Truth-Telling in Hostile Times
How does media use race to reinforce power? And how do we resist? A conversation on truth-telling in hostile times.
How does the media use race to reinforce power—and how do we respond as educators, journalists, and truth-tellers?
Join us for a timely and urgent conversation between Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones and scholar Dr. Christine McWhorter, author of Building Critical Race Media Literacy: Countering the Narrative. This event unpacks how structural racism operates through media—and how truth-telling in education and journalism is both essential and under attack.
Supported by Howard University and the Center for Journalism & Democracy, this event brings together educators, students, and reporters facing the intersecting challenges of disinformation, censorship, and structural harm.
