People need to be aware of the hate and bias that is affecting people from around the world, especially in incidents that turn into violence. Around the world, people are discriminated against because of their race, religion, sexuality, or what they choose to do with their body. This discrimination and violence must end. People should be allowed to be and celebrate who they are and live as they wish to live.
Black Lives Matter is a focused political and social movement protesting against events of police brutality and all racially motivated violence against black people. BLM tells the story of black people that goes way back, and the movement’s work is not over as the United States and the world still need change. One focus of BLM is to show the hardships black people still experience and to show that what previous generations went through still exists in many ways today.
