A History of Black News (Patreon)

I told you guys that in months to come I want to repurpose older Intelexual Media essays into video essays now that my youtube audience has grown. The first of such videos is A History of Black News. This is an early upload and will not be available on youtube until at least Wednesday. Enjoy!

Also, if you have a moment, please head over to my youtube to leave a comment on my latest video, Let's Talk About Sex History 8/A Short History of America Hating Sex Workers.
