“I think the challenge responses reflect how our communities deal with loss and grief,” a hip-hop and education expert said.
Emden used the example of freestyle that the Atlanta rapper Deante’ Hitchcock performed on video for the challenge as an example of the kind of contribution that is needed to raise awareness among black men.
Hitchcock remains concerned that many people aren’t heeding added safety measures like wearing masks and social distancing. He told NBC News that he wanted to tell his story in part because his mother and girlfriend are both nurses.
“You can’t think of too many times in the course of American history where black people have been so painfully and dramatically impacted by the legacy of 400 years of slavery and another century of Jim Crow,” said Burns, who added that he’s working on how best to use the energy seen in the challenge to help Joe Biden, the apparent Democratic presidential nominee, win in November.
“They care deeply, but the problem is that political groups aren’t coming back to this community with resources to say, ‘Here are the plans, here are the laws we want to change, and here’s who we want to get elected,’” Trimble said.
