Kaitlyn Saunders, a fourth-grader, took to Black Lives Matter Plaza in her hometown of Washington D.C. and performed a routine to Andra Day’s “Rise Up.”
Saunders also made sure to dress for the occasion, donning a yellow and white leotard matching the large yellow letters that spell out “Black Lives Matter” on the street directly leading to the White House.
According to Kaitlyn’s mom, Katrice Saunders, her daughter has learned about the BLM movement over the past few years, and since Black Lives Matter Plaza was renamed, has wanted to skate across it.
"She had the idea she wanted to go down there and skate on Black Lives Matter Plaza," Katrice Saunders said.

Kaitlyn says Day's song inspired her and created the choreography to her skate routing herself.
