Toni Cade Bambara, born Toni Cade, was an American writer, civil-rights activist, and teacher who wrote on African-American issues. In the 1970s she was active in both the black liberation and the women’s movements. While textual activism had a significant influence in 1971, I feel that in today’s culture, social media is extensively implemented as a kind of media activism because to its interactive characteristics and widespread adoption, and how the interconnectivity disseminates information and rallies supporters in volumes. With that kind of influence, textual activism does not have the same impact on BIPOC. I also feel that demonstrative forms of activism, such as peaceful protests, rallies, and marches, are effective strategies to effect change for BIPOC.

YES, the peaceful protest is definitely me. At times when certain groups protest with hate and anger it discredits the whole purpose of their fight for rights. Im big on the peace factor honestly.
Hi, I agree that social media is an important tool in activism today with the way it helps spread ideas and organize protests.
