Young adults in America are often referenced as a monolithic body—praised for their “generational awareness and generational solidarity,” “passion for making positive change,” and “revolutionizing activism.” Sometimes the profiles present a less insurgent picture; Newsweek depicted Gen Z as a breed of cautious pessimists, shaped by their parents’ cynicism and volatile socioeconomic conditions. Other portrayals […]
No justice, no peace. All too often, Black women are excluded from the narrative of police brutality and systemic racism. All too often, the names of Black women are excluded from the fight for justice—a reality that is highlighted on social media. Social media’s powers in mobilizing change are innumerable.
