What would the Black Panther Party’s technology center look like? We pulled this from the Black Panthers 10 Point Program found on the @blmsyllabus website with this update: We want...People’s community control of modern technology. Since the center opened its doors at Eastmont Mall in 1997 we have put the tools of modern technology back into the hands of Black and Brown communities. Now with rise of artificial intelligence, immersive technologies, and wearables, how can ...we create new tools that empower our community? Let’s imagine together And have Point 10 painted on our center. What do you think? #HappyJuneteenth
