Why the Voices of Black Twitter Were Worth Saving
Briefly

When I set out to chronicle Black Twitter in April 2021... Black Twitter is more than a community. It is an ever-growing, always-evolving force that has influenced nearly every aspect of modern life.
Black Twitter doesn't simply make culture, it shapes society... It is all the things: news and analysis, call and response, judge and jury-a comedy showcase, therapy session, and family cookout all in one.
Black Twitter endures as the most dynamic subset not only of Twitter, now X, but of the wider social internet... there was no better place to be than Black Twitter as the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef played out.
Our stories are routinely stolen from us, if not deleted outright. Out of our hands, our history is flattened and repurposed into dangerous falsehoods by lawmakers who peddle misinformation for personal gain.
