In this week’s session, we explore how acts of cultural meaning-making through movement, memory, and art are pushing back against the fast-spreading toxins of disinformation and White nationalist distortion that threaten African progress and democracy at large.
The week also marks the birthdays of historian George Washington Williams, journalist Lerone Bennett Jr. and artist Kerry James Marshall. Their legacies remind us of the power of imagination, literacy and community as tools of liberation. Their work takes on renewed urgency as the nation confronts disinformation’s corrosive reach. On the eve of the “No Kings” protests, arguments in the Supreme Court’s Louisiana v. Callais voting rights case and new data from Onyx Impact’s Blackout Report reveal how lies are weaponized to erase truth.
