"Black Lives Matter" in Education and Society
Obiakor, Festus E.
Multicultural Learning and Teaching, v16 n1 p81-96 2021
Black people all over the world have historically endured slavery, colonialism, racism, prejudice, and discriminatory actions; and they continue to be disenfranchised, disadvantaged, disillusioned, and demeaned by institutions and systems. Of late, Black people in the United States, especially Black males have been encountering blatant police harassments, brutalities, shootings, and killings. These actions have led to the question, "Do Black lives matter?" Of course, they do! It is no surprise that an organization, "Black Lives Matter" was formed to protest the incessant shootings and killings of Blacks in the United States. Then, if "Black Lives Matter" as I know they do, they must matter in education and society. This is the focus of the article.
