Rob, the author of “When the Hood Comes Off: Racism and Resistance in the Digital Age,” offers a thought-provoking perspective. While acknowledging the negative impact of social media, Rob highlights some of the positive aspects of how social media serves as a channel to disseminate information not covered by mainstream media and provides a platform for individuals who may otherwise feel hesitant to share their experiences in person. Join us as we delve into this insightful conversation about how social media has changed the way we discuss racism since the 80s and 90s.
