It’s time to let these children know what time it is…
37 years. It took me 37 years to become blacktivated. He’s probably never heard of that word before, because I made it up. OK so There’s blacktivated, where you come to realize your blackness, your inner black power, or your inner black ally. A blacktivist is what you become after blacktivation. And Blacktivism are the actions and results you take and get as a blacktivist that help to progress the black agenda. I like to affectionately call it the Build Black Better plan.
Like so many of us, George Floyd was a pivotal moment and civil rights history. His untimely death beneath the knee of a police officer for nine minutes sparked the largest civil rights movement in history… And it was global. Black Lives Matter became an instant sensation around the world and protest of this police brutality. 
And after 37 years, saying that man die, I finally realized… That could’ve been me.
