Why does storytelling matter in the fight for social justice? Throughout history, we’ve seen the power of art and storytelling—both professional and grassroots—to move people, shift culture, and shape public consciousness. 🗣 When Mamie Till-Mobley insisted the world see her son Emmett’s beaten body in Jet magazine in 1955, the photos became an inflection point in the Civil Rights Movement. 🗣 When Roots aired in 1977, it brought the brutality of slavery into American living rooms and transformed historical understanding. 🗣 When Philadelphia premiered in 1993, it gave a face and voice to the AIDS crisis, pushing past stigma and into empathy. Just as one courageous act can ignite a movement, the dynamic can shift again—quickly, powerfully, and collectively. And while change sometimes begins with a single spark, more often it’s the steady drumbeat of education, storytelling, and truth-telling that reshapes culture and fuels lasting progress.
