Howard Witt recognizes African-American bloggers. Witts was surprised by the way many African-American bloggers got the word out about Shaquanda Cotton. The power of the African-American bloggers impact crosses all borders including beyond the borders of the United States.
Witt expresses his belief that Internet blogging is more powerful in getting out information about injustices that are occurring within these community. Witt is right. Many appointed leaders in some communities are stymied in effecting change among the status quo. It is when the citizens organize en mass that change occur. Governor Rick Perry, did not want millions of African-Americans showing up in a small town in Texas, called Paris. Bottom line.
Perhaps, the virtual civil right movement will be utilized to build protest movements in other ciites where injustices is melded out on a daily basis.
