What’s your thoughts on BLM movement now? What’s important to know?
Black lives have always mattered to black people and allies. It’s great when the world sees injustice and rallies behind change. It’s important to remember that BLM is not the first organization for activists and it won’t be the last so learn the history and press on for a better tomorrow.
