Using a Black pedagogy of care to develop ethics of engagement with police brutality videos

This reflection considers what it means to ethically engage with material, specifically that which contains harm perpetuated against Black bodies by the police. In the height of this particular critical moment, I address the continued harm that is caused by white folks purposefully avoiding videos of Black trauma. Deploying a pedagogy of care, I attempt to bring attention to those that have divorced themselves from larger political narratives by turning away from those events that are a fundamental part of the unfinished emancipation of Black people in United States.
