BLM: A Lasting Change?
The BLM movement is compared to the Civil Rights Movement in their common fight for social equity and in the way it gathered many American citizens.
People have been supportive of both movements but it
seems like the BLM movement gathers more people and is
more “focused” and more “universal”.
Some specialists consider the movement might face the
political divide to implement lasting laws.
The journalist from Yahoo News has a
positive reading of the event and focuses on the huge crowd
gathering that the movement has created. On the other
hand, the Washington Post journalist argues that the momentum might not be enough and that the claim for social
justice won’t last unless the political divide is overcome.
