A People’s History of Black Twitter is Coming to Wired

If you don’t know the cultural significance, pure joy and all around tomfoolery that is Black Twitter, then you’re about to find out. Wired Studios announced its collaboration with Culture House on a three-part docuseries, A People’s History of Black Twitter: Coming Together, by Jason Parham. The series will follow tweets that sparked movements from their point of origin to wherever they landed beyond the social media platform. Parham emphasizes social justice movements, viral trends and that ole’ regular-degular Black joy that we get when we open the app.

“What Jason’s reporting does so brilliantly is take a world as big and all-encompassing as Black Twitter, and break it down into a series of personal reflections, stories and memories that speak to the Black experience with honesty and nuance. We knew right away that this type of project isn’t something that we see enough of in media…” per a press release sent to The Root.

The first installment of A People’s History of Black Twitter: Coming Together is now available on Wired.com.
