Black Lives Matter
If I had to explain “Black Lives Matter” to a young person first I will state that Black Lives Matter, is as an organization. The organization was created in 2013, to create awareness about violence and racism towards black people. After I will share terms to think of when they hear Black Lives Matter, such as race and equality. Equality, because people who are part of the Black lives matter movement are fighting for equality by coming together and using their voice to create change. Race, because African American's are not being valued in our society and this is one of the reasons it started. Individuals who are part of it are also fighting for their human rights, racism, and police violence. The purpose of it is to create change and awareness of what is happening to black lives.
