    96. National Sensations

    96. National Sensations

    Welcome to wonderful episode 96 - except this episode is anything but wonderful. To start us off on a (sarcasm) super great note, Kat tells us about the first major motion picture ever, Birth of a Nation, and the effect it had and continues to have on American Society. Kaleigh then closes us out on a (sarcasm) equally great note, the life of Keith Haring, a (not sarcasm) wonderfully passionate artist lost to the AIDS crisis.

    The Revolution Will Be Digitized

    The Revolution Will Be Digitized

    Where does the video of George Floyd’s murder fit into the long history of the push for racial justice? 

    Journalist and professor Marc Lamont Hill has just released a new book, co-authored with historian Todd Brewster. Titled Seen & Unseen, the work explores the ways in which technology and visual media have shaped our understanding of race in the past and how they are being used as tools in the fight for racial justice today. 

    The impetus for Hill and Brewster’s book was the murder of George Floyd and the uprising it sparked. Video of Floyd’s murder was captured by Darnella Frazier, using her cell phone’s camera. She posted the video to Facebook, where it quickly went viral, sparking the largest protest movement in U.S. history.

    On this episode of Into America, host Trymaine Lee speaks with fellow journalist and author Marc Lamont Hill about his new book, George Floyd, and the uses of technology and social media in the fight for racial justice.

    #32: Shawshank, Oz and Fox News Teach us to be Afraid (Dr. Bill Yousman)

    Media teaches us facts about our world. And most of the time we don't even notice. We learn that elevators have roof hatches and that most of Earth's oxygen comes from the rain forests, along with a bunch of other TV lies, and we don't even realize we have learned these things (incorrectly). 

    Dr. Bill Yousman joins me to discuss media, prison, and the war on drugs. We also talk about rap music, masculinity, and methods for avoiding the miseducation that comes with irresponsible media consumption.
