The D1LD0 Resistance Story
Using a recent article from *The Root* as a starting point, this video explores what linguists call **African American Vernacular English (AAVE)** or **African American English (AAE)**—its history, grammar, cultural significance, and why educators and researchers continue to study it.
We'll examine where the term "Black English" comes from, what decades of linguistic research have discovered, and why conversations about language, dialects, education, literacy, and identity continue to evolve. Rather than focusing on political talking points, this discussion looks at the scholarship, the history, and the experts behind one of America's most studied language varieties.
If you've ever wondered whether Black English is a dialect, a language variety, or simply slang, this episode provides historical context, research, and expert perspectives to help explain the debate.
