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, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses.” The media has the power to influence minds, ideas, behaviors, and attitudes of the masses. With the media’s ability to change the perception of how people view things, it is clear that it has become a weaponized tool that has the ability to ultimately control the minds of the masses. In the case of the black community, the media often portrays negative stereotypes and lacks proper and diverse representation. In this episode, I will be analyzing Malcom X’s words, and the ideology that follows suit, stressing the importance of proper and diverse representation of black people in the media, as well as providing examples of poor and proper representation in modern media. Also included in this episode, an exclusive interview with Hezekiah Watkins, a civil rights activist from Jackson, Mississippi who became the youngest Freedom Rider- nearly 60 years ago. Get ready to freestyle with me.
