“We want to become the Black #Wikipedia,” says @BlackFactsOnline founder Ken Granderson ’85. “The one-stop shop for news, technology, culture, and anything Black. We want to inspire people of color across the globe, as well as friends from any culture. And we want to empower the Black community to take control of its own narrative so we can tell our own stories.” Created in 1997, Blackfacts.com is a searchable database where users can find information about Black history, culture, technology, and commerce dating all the way back to 1600. Journalist and radio host Jamila Bey has said that with Blackfacts.com, Granderson is “using technology to create the future of Black history.” More at the link in the bio. . . . #BlackHistory #BlackFacts #BlackFactsOnline #BlackFacts365 #MITAlumni @MITEngineering
