Crime & American Media: The Black Experience 

Why do “Black Lives Matter”? They matter because the criminal justice system in America is a big topic of controversy, firmly rooted in the country’s sordid history of slavery. This talk will address the American criminal justice system and the role the media plays in shaping the Black American’s experience with criminal law. This discussion will not only look at the negative aspects of the criminal justice system, but also highlight major contributions, both past and present, that Black American communities have made in criminal justice reform and media representation.
