(CBM) – For Black Lives Matter co-founder Alicia Garza, the widespread global protests and activism that followed the murder of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man, by Minnesota police have been heartening — and they make her feel hopeful for the future.
Seeing Black Lives Matter (BLM) signs held by protestors in all 50 states, including in many small towns with few Black residents, Garza said, “It’s humbling to see it and to have been a small part of it.”
Movement for Black Lives is not just about police violence.
Black Lives Matter is for an opportunity for us to recognize and uphold the right to humanity and dignity for Black people.
Garza said that slogan comes from the Movement for Black Lives, a coalition that includes BLM.
