Malcolm X said “The media’s the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent.” Media has been a tool that has proven to influence the minds, ideas, behaviors and attitudes of the masses. So is media a tool of the enemy or the people? Come out as TechActivist.Org discuss the difference between corporate media and media made by the people for the people.

TechActivist.Org will kickoff this event with a panel discussing the power of media and the role young Black and Brown people play in making media with Glen Ford, Executive Editor of Black Agenda Report (and a Certified Elder of the Black Journalism Tribe).
