![Jese Leos](https://literature.mamanbook.com/author/alex-reed.jpg)
For many years, the African American image in the media was largely negative. Black people were often portrayed as criminals, thugs, or welfare recipients. This negative portrayal had a significant impact on the way that African Americans were viewed by society, and it also had a negative impact on the way that African Americans viewed themselves.
In recent years, there has been a growing movement to change the African American image. This movement has been led by African American celebrities, activists, and community leaders. These individuals have worked to challenge the negative stereotypes that have been associated with African Americans, and they have worked to promote a more positive image of African Americans.
