The period following the Civil Rights Movement saw a renewed struggle against systemic racism. It’s a period marked by the emergence of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, ignited by the injustice surrounding Trayvon Martin’s case in 2013.

This movement has been pivotal in bringing issues of police brutality, racial profiling, and systemic racism into the spotlight. As we delve into this era, it’s essential to recognize how social justice initiatives spark national conversations, protests and legislation.
