On the Internet and the Black Radical Tradition
**Black Meme** by Legacy Russell delves into the profound influence of Black imagery on visual culture and technology. The book examines how representations of Blackness have shaped modern perceptions, particularly in the digital age. Through a historical lens, Russell explores pivotal moments and media that highlight the impact of Black life and death on viral culture. From the circulation of lynching postcards to the televised civil rights protests, and from the first viral video of Rodney King's beating to contemporary social media recordings, the book underscores the significant role Black contributions have played in shaping digital culture.
