Black Twitter is a dynamic cultural phenomenon, not a physical entity, impacting discussions on various subjects for nearly two decades. It's not a physical place but a practice, spanning from advocacy to entertainment.
The documentary 'Black Twitter: A People's History', executive-produced by Prentice Penny, explores the evolution of Black Twitter. Its origins in platforms like BlackPlanet and MySpace are highlighted in hourlong episodes based on a Wired cover story.
Black Twitter was considered a unique and engaging topic for a Silicon Valley magazine like Wired. Jason Parham, a senior writer at Wired and an executive producer on the documentary, pitched this project based on his longstanding engagement with Black Twitter.
