NAACP has partnered with Ed Gordon to bring you Black Media Speaks - a candid conversation with leading Black journalists Wednesday, May 20, 8 PM ET

In times like these, our stories are more important than ever.

Even before data was released that showed COVID-19 is affecting the Black community disproportionately, we all knew this pandemic would negatively impact our people the most. Why? Because the racism embedded in this country’s infrastructure is all the fuel that the coronavirus needed to spread.

The truth is that Black people are not safe in this country, whether it be from bigotry, police brutality, or the coronavirus. This is our reality, and at this moment we need people who will continue to shine a light on these injustices.

NAACP has partnered with Ed Gordon to bring you Black Media Speaks - a candid conversation with leading Black journalists on the importance of telling Black stories. This Wednesday, May 20 at 8pm ET, join us as Ed Gordon moderates the conversation between:

• Jemele Hill
• Earl “Butch” Graves
• April Ryan
• Jeff Johnson
• Dorothy Tucker

This is an opportunity to hear from some of the biggest voices in Black media, and also share your story of living while Black. You don’t want to miss this conversation.

William, stay alert, stay informed, stay safe.

Sincerely,

Derrick Johnson
