Black Lives Matter
From the beginning of Europe’s colonization of the America’s, African people have been used to build our country while facing mass oppression and brutality. These issues persist today. In 2013, the hashtag BlackLivesMatter was created as a result of the unjust murder of Trayvon Martin. Black Lives Matter's goal is to eradicate racist mindsets, police brutality towards people of color, and violence towards Black communities. They are working to equalize the several social, economic, and educational disadvantages faced by Black
Americans on a daily basis.
