Why do Black characters so frequently die first, serve as comic relief, or fade into the background once the white protagonist has learned their lesson? These patterns are not accidental. They reflect long-standing narrative traditions that shape how audiences interpret Black identity on screen.

 

In this dynamic and research-informed virtual workshop, author, speaker, and media analyst Nicholas Jordan guides participants through a critical examination of anti-Black representation across film, television, comics, and gaming. Drawing from nearly a decade of civil rights and media literacy experience, Jordan equips learners with practical frameworks for identifying, contextualizing, and challenging racist tropes in contemporary storytelling.

 

Using curated visuals, short media excerpts, and facilitated discussion, participants will strengthen their media literacy skills, deepen their understanding of how harmful tropes originate, and explore strategies for reimagining narratives that affirm and center Black truth, agency, and creativity.
