Marion Stokes. 1929-2012 Civil Rights Activist, Libratian, Archivist, Televison Producer. She single handedly recorded 35 years (1979 to her death in 2012) of television to prove news media bias. Her work is called 'Input'. She was amazing. https://archive.org/details/marionstokesinput ##nofilter #marionstokes #blackhistory #blacklivesmatter #speaklesslistenmore #blackactivist #blackpioneers (at Dante's Spirit) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBgP4F8JXew/?igshid=1gbba5ct52nvv

I’m highly interested in this premise. Reminds me of the conversations I’ve had with others about what if YouTube has come before 2005..... #Repost @djsoulsister with @get_repost ・・・ I just saw this film, and it’s a life-changer. Thank you, @neworleansfilmsociety, for screening #recorderthemarionstokesproject. (Wow, @mattpwolf, you’ve created a mutha!) ⁣ ⁣ ‘Recorder: The Marion Stokes Project' Showcases The Black Woman Who Recorded Over 30 Years Of American Television ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ From recorderfilm.com: “Marion Stokes was secretly recording television twenty-four hours a day for thirty years. It started in 1979 with the Iranian Hostage Crisis at the dawn of the twenty-four hour news cycle. It ended on December 14, 2012 while the Sandy Hook massacre played on television as Marion passed away. In between, Marion recorded on 70,000 VHS tapes, capturing revolutions, lies, wars, triumphs, catastrophes, bloopers, talk shows, and commercials that tell us who we were, and show how television shaped the world of today. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Before ‘fake news’ Marion was fighting to protect the truth by archiving everything that was said and shown on television. The public didn’t know it, but the networks were disposing their archives for decades into the trashcan of history. Remarkably Marion saved it, and now the Internet Archive will digitize her tapes and we’ll be able to search them online for free. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ This is a mystery in the form of a time capsule. It’s about a radical Communist activist, who became a fabulously wealthy recluse archivist. Her work was crazy but it was also genius, and she would pay a profound price for dedicating her life to this visionary and maddening project.” #recorder #movie #history #television #documentary #vhs #tv #fakenews #archives #marionstokes #marionstokesproject #america https://www.instagram.com/p/B36DMZEBKX4/?igshid=1awcphhyu5ch8

Marion Stokes who single handedly recorded everything on television from 1979 to 2012 preserving this era of TV. These days things are super easy to archive, the significance here is the time that she did it....
