What do the Great Migration and today’s digital divide have in common? More than we often realize. In this episode of The Digital Determinants, host Kyla Williams Tate follows the journey of millions of Black families who left the Jim Crow South in search of opportunity, only to find housing, labor, and education systems that were never built for them. A century later, digital platforms are repeating the same mistakes: tele-health that assumes flawless broadband, job portals that filter out qualified candidates, and facial recognition tools that misidentify Black faces at alarming rates. This episode unpacks: 1. How design decisions — past and present — determine who is included and who is excluded. 2. Why trust is essential for building systems that communities will actually use. 3. A newish idea for making technology more inclusive and accountable.
