In this episode we talk about what BLM really is and its importance in our society. We give background on how it started, and describe the stories on some victims of police brutality, including Breonna Taylor, Elijah McClain, and George Floyd. We think along with talking about publicized victims, we should also talk about lesser known cases such as Elijah McClain, because they truly need to be addressed. We then really dive into how you can help and be involved in our society, as well as help our fellow citizens in the African American community.
