Platform updates… the AltBlackNews Android app is in the process of going live in the Google Play store. Apple News is dragging their ass but we are live on Google News. There are several video streaming and social media platforms in development, not just mine, others have answered the call. I am happy to be building with Leroy Moore (Krip Hop Nation), Chairman Fred Hampton Jr, Bernard Johnson (King BJ and friends), Da Teachas (Dr Rick Wallace and Dr Michael K Blanchard), Paradise Gray (of the XClan, Rock the Bells, and Universal Hip Hop Museum) and more on hip hop, education, black politics and advocacy.

First I would like to thank my supporters, its been a long 8 years… damn near a decade for my Day 1s since we started this journey. I put out the call to create independent black media and many have done just that. With your help AltBlackNews is able to push back at censorship, amplify these voices and breath life back into shadowbanned videos. With your continued support we can host these videos eliminating the need for Youtube all together.
