A brief history of the Black Lives Matter Movement
Americans are engrossed in protest all in order to support justice
and equity for the Black community. Our neighbors in Canada are also
sympathetic to the Black Lives Matter movement as is much of the world.
CBC Kids News breaks down just what the Black Lives Matter movement
stands for and why it exists. We may primarily see adults leading the
charge against injustice, but kids play an important role as well, as they
have historically.
“Find the good. It’s all around you. Find it, showcase it and you’ll start believing in it.”
