Thus, this piece names the “black digital humanities” as the intersection between Black studies and digital humanities, transforming the concept into corporeal reality while lending language to the work of the black digerati in and outside of the academy” ( Kim Gallon 43). This statement reminds me of intersectionality and how important this word is when it comes to the discussion of African Americans and everything else. I also agree that black studies in the digital era restore black people’s humanity (Kim Gallon 44). It keeps the record of information that scholars today are not able to find about previous African Americans in America.

“The digital humanities can profoundly alienate Black people from participating in its work because of its silences and refusals to engage in addressing the intersecting dimensions of policy, economics, and intersectional racial and gender oppression that are part of the society we live in; this engagement cannot be relegated just to Black digital humanists. We are living in a moment where Black people’s lives can be documented and digitalized, but cannot be empowered or respected in society” (Saifya Umoja Noble 30). THIS!!! This is important and I believe that we have access to technology and yet African Americans are still denied the justice raw uncut recorded footage brings.

Noble is all about reparations and believes that digital humanities can bring us closer to that (Noble 34).
