Black Lives Matter - More Than A Movement

You only have to spend a short time on social media to gather what Black Lives Matters means to our
people.  As reported more and more Black people are leaving the bias information source called mainstream media.  We are relying more on the other media resources afforded on social media.  Social media is also a place for our voice on many topics especially race and racism to be heard.  That voice has been missing in the discussion since the mid 1970's.  We have voiced what Black Lives Matter really means to the children of Africa here in America.
The sharing on social media around Black Lives Matter has very little to do with politics and politicians.  This is even with the political trolls trying to squash it.  It is not solely about the organization and its organizers, really very little.  It has to do with how the words have made our people feel.   It has uplifted and awaken the spirit of our youth.  That is the true movement.
