Twice as Good

URL Media, the start up devoted to Black and Brown media sustainability, recently hosted a day trip to Montgomery, Alabama. We mobilized media stakeholders to visit the Legacy Museum, which tells the story of the African-American experience from the Middle Passage to mass incarceration. Today Sara and Mitra are joined by Leonor Ayala, URL Media’s Chief of Recruitment to discuss how the Legacy Museum has changed their lives. Their work centers on creating a more just and equitable media ecosystem that centers Black and Brown communities. The trip preceded the Online News Association's annual convention in Atlanta, and underscores the importance of centering the truth of American history during this contentious election season.
