The #BLM Movement is Officially a Nobel Peace Prize Nominee!
The #BlackLivesMatter Movement is Now a Nobel Peace Prize Nominee!
The movement for racial justice and equality #Black Lives Matter — which was revived May last year by the violent death of African-American George Floyd at the hands of white police officers in Minneapolis, Minnesota, was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by a Norwegian parliamentarian, Petter Eide . A Long and Ongoing Fight for Racial Justice
Founded in 2013 in the United State by three queer African-American women ( Alicia Garza , Patrisse Cullors and Opal Tometi ) the movement has taken on an even more powerful global force — seeing a collective Afro consciousness awakening worldwide as it pertains to the rights and human dignities of black people of African descent in every sphere of society. #Black Lives Matter has called on many institutions around the world to demand change and better ethnic representation — opening up many conversations on the lingering effects of Europe's colonisation of Africa, the Trans-Atlantic slave trade and the consequential racism that permeates all aspects of society around the world.
