A Living Black Media Legacy Moving Forward
Project B.A.I.T., founded by David Rambeau and carried forward with Will Amos, Ron Scott, and many more, built a Black-controlled media record rooted in truth, technology, and community. H2BE and Dr. Denghulanga Julia Kapilango now steward this living legacy into its next space.

A documented Black media legacy
Project B.A.I.T.—Black Awareness in Television, later Black Awareness in Technology—emerged in Detroit in 1970 with a clear responsibility: Black people must possess the power to present, interpret, preserve, and distribute the truth of Black life.
Its answer to harmful representation was construction. Through independent production, technical education, public conversation, and For My People, Project B.A.I.T. created a platform where Black knowledge could be recorded and shared without surrendering authority over its meaning.
