This isn't a new problem. Black lives have been in danger for centuries and have experienced violence, discrimination and abuse just for the colour of their skin. Innocent men have been killed, innocent women have been killed, innocent children have been killed... The faces of George Floyed, Breonna Taylor, Emmett Till, and so many more have been put to rest and the lives of their families destroyed. This is not a trend to post about, it is not a phase, we need to DO something rather than sit behind a screen. Make a difference. "How many moments of silence do we have to have until we aren't silent anymore?"

Let's end police brutality and racism and give freedom and change to our children and the future generation and put an end to this horrific problem.
