With the election of the first African American president, how can philanthropy encourage media to provide more accurate, nuanced portrayals of black men and boys?
The Open Society Institute's Campaign for Black Male Achievement and Fenton Communications hosted this event featuring philanthropic leaders, media professionals, and community-based youth media advocates. Participants discuss how to foster partnerships to counter negative stereotypes about black males in the media.
Shawn Dove, director of the Campaign for Black Male Achievement, introduced the event.
