How the phrase lands

Black Lives Matter.

Some support the movement. (I do.)

Some are leading the movement.

Some are unsure of the movement’s meaning.

Some are nervous about supporting the movement, or even saying that they do.

Some are scared of the movement itself.

And yes, some are fighting against the movement.

Wherever we are on the spectrum, the onus is upon each of us to be educated. Or to become educated. Not to have answers, but to have questions and to be truth seekers. To be empathetic students of history who seek to cultivate emotional intelligence and who fight to right the wrongs of our past and present.

This isn’t someone else’s problem to solve; it’s ours.

And if we don’t think there are problems ... well, that’s a problem right there.
