Black Lives Matter: Addressing Race, Unconscious Bias, and Privilege

Black Lives Matter is a movement that seeks to recognize and support the many generations of black individuals and families who have suffered from racial trauma and injustice across the world. The core principles of this movement centre around the idea that all people should be treated with respect and equality, regardless of their skin colour or other physical attributes. While there are a number of movements across the world working to address these issues, such as social justice reform, education reform, poverty reduction initiatives, and other efforts for change, the Black Lives Matter movement stands out as one that is particularly aimed at recognising how unique the experiences are for black and brown individuals.
