Hadji Williams has a new advertising-related crusade. In his own words:
“We Want Our Kids Back, Too” online campaign is underway. The goal of the WWOKBT is obviously to highlight the disparity in media coverage of/recovery efforts for missing people of color, specifically black women and children. It’s this disparity that not only discourages and disrespects the families of missing children of color, but it also mitigates the resources put into play for recovery and prosecution. It says, “We as a society value whites more than everyone else, even when it comes to being crime victims.”
Many sites and outlets are picking up on the campaign’s e-cards and online posters and adding them to their sites and email lists and spreading the word about missing children from all walks. The goal is to not only drive traffic and interest in these cases, but to spark the dialogue regarding the disparity.
