We Tried to Tell Y'All

Black Twitter is all at once a social media phenomenon, a place, and a people. Through interviews with Black social media users, news media analysis, and her own perspective as a Black Xennial journalist, Meredith D. Clark makes a definitive contribution on the digital legacy of Black media production in the 21st century. We Tried to Tell Y'all: Black Twitter and the Rise of Digital Counternarratives, offers both testimony and admonition to those whose sense of 'the Black experience in America' relies solely on news and entertainment media.
