What a :) wonderful day :) to remember that Black Lives Matter even weeks after protests! :) Keep learning! :) Buy from local black companies! :) Read! :) Watch movies directed by and starring black people and people of colour about their histories! :)
Keep fighting the good fight. If we shut up and allow this to be a trend, they (aggressors) win. Don't let them win!
(A good website for petitions and information is blacklivesmatters.carrd.co; look up lists of black history movies on Netflix and actually watch them!)
