It's a Movement. Not a Moment.

2020 is going to be a THICK chapter in the history books. We are amidst a strong second wave of the Civil Rights Movement and have the advancements of technology to further help the movement along. But I don’t want this to be just a moment. Or something we bring up during Black History Month. Or the side blurb in a civil rights history chapter. I want black lives to matter everyday of every week of every month of every year! But how to we accomplish something that has never been done ?

This Country is Kneeling On My Neck

The unnecessary death of black and brown people happens far too often in this country. We are hurt and angry and feel hopeless. And now with social media, anyone can voice their opinion on the events that surround the death of not only George Floyd but the hundreds of men and women who have died simply because of the color of their skin. And instead of focusing on the injustices, many are focused on the actions of the victims. Please don’t allow the looting and riots distract from the reason the looting and rioting is happening: the deaths of multiple black lives and no justice. Material things do not compare to a person’s life. Remember, black people are no longer property and our lives have infinite value. We matter.
