Witnessing Trauma Black Youth on Social Media

This project delves into the intersection of past and present modes of curating Black trauma, specifically examining the transition from traditional scrapbooking methods used by the Emmett Till Generation to contemporary practices on social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter by the Trayvon Generation. The central argument posits that these digital spaces serve as an extension of historical scrapbooking, revealing parallels in the ways Black communities curate and disseminate traumatic experiences.
