The NAACP was founded in 1909.
In 1952 we had corny PSAs discouraging racism.
Black Lives Matter was founded in 2013.
In 2020 we are living through a global pandemic that is disproportionately killing members of the black community in the U.S. due, at least in part, to inequalities in the way our fellow Americans experience life and freedom.
This is terribly far from a full timeline of the reminders we have had to recognize and support our colleagues, our friends, our family, and our fellow citizens. How many more generations will see these reminders falling on deaf ears? Black Lives Matter.
