Why You Rarely Hear About Missing Black Girls

When Rotando Freeman's niece ShyShy Pate went missing in 1998 in a small town in Georgia, her family began a campaign to find her that has continued for almost two decades. Freeman shares with us the challenges of raising awareness about ShyShy's disappearance on social media and with local reporters over the years.

She's joined by Jessica Testa, national reporter at BuzzFeed News, who recently wrote an article titled "The Lost Girl of Unadilla," which shows how ShyShy's case fits into a larger narrative about how the stories of missing blacks girls often don't make national headlines or are lost among the many stories focusing on missing white girls.
