Writing is still indeed a viable option for activism for BIPOC in the present day United States. If the question is yes or no, then I believe that the answer is absolutely, but it will of course have to adjust to the current times and audiences. From what I hear from my fellow peers and others in general that are around my age, a lot of them claim to have a disliking for reading, and in my honest opinion, a lot of the readings we are required to do in school regardless of how important they were for history, end up feeling boring. It is definitely possible, but it cannot come from an unexperienced writer. It has to be someone or with the guidance of someone that truly knows how to capture the attention of today’s generations.

Hello, I really liked how you explained what the problem was with writing and reading in todays society. I agree with what you said about required readings being boring at times. I also liked how you gave a solution of sorts at the end. Overall I found your post insightful and personable.
I agree that the required readings in the present day are typically boring for the reader. They feel contrived and without meaning in the present day when the average person is oversaturated with media.
