The Black Lives Matter movement was important enough for us to come out and support our local community. It was definitely a large turnout of over 500 people. We found the corner that was least populated and stood firmly for equal rights for all. It's been so long since we have been around people that it was definitely making me feel uncomfortable at times. We saw neighbors, friends, and kids from my elementary school with their families which made this feel like a community that I am proud to be a part of. We have been reading Stamped with the boys, discussing racism, and hopefully the future they live in will learn from the experiences that we are having now. When will we all be able to say, Black lives matter???
