AfroPoP: The Ultimate Cultural Exchange spotlights contemporary stories reflecting the spirit, ingenuity and resilience found among people of the African diaspora. AfroPoP recognizes that nonfiction - and Afro-futurism in particular - has provided a critical tool for Black storytellers to define present and future realities on their own terms, giving Black storytellers the necessary space for new conversations, investigations and observations. By embracing fiction and nonfiction stories, AfroPoP acknowledges that there is no distinction in the power of both genres to offer audiences deep insight into the global Black Experience.

Here's a prime example of how and why platforms like YouTube are so useful: I was born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina. I have never heard of Princeville or about any of the events and history associated with the place...until today.

40 million Black people in America. If each gofundme $1.00 towards your project, that would be $40 million dollars. Black people have to unite finances and send money towards black projects to assist in their own projects. Collectively, and $1.00 per year over 3 years would be a big push for change. And it is affordable per individual. Do the math. And we could do this for more projects and communities. ❤

Yes! Resita Cox's film really brings to life the story of Princeville, NC in 'Freedom Hill.' It’s both heartbreaking and inspiring to see their resilience captured so vividly. Definitely worth a watch!

I love the history, this town is so beautiful. I truly hope the government will help when rebuilding their homes build the homes on stakes. Like some homes in Florida and Louisiana so if it floods no one lose their homes or forced to move.
