Movement journalism has been around since Ida B. Wells-Barnett condemned racial terror lynchings in the Black Press at the turn of the century, since Claudia Jones wrote about the struggles of Black women workers in the 1940s and 1950s…

Kinda chic for us to follow their examples by advancing justice and liberation through the practice of movement journalism. 😎 [Image 1: Graphic with purple background that says, “Kinda chic to be a movement journalist” and features photos of Ida B.
