BLM Collage

BLM Collage
Rye, NY

Note: Collage created from images on a social justice wall created to express solidarity with Black persons in the United States, who have been oppressed since 1619 through slavery and discrimination and to display our demands that the United States be transformed into a more perfect union where the human rights of ALL people are respected and protected, instead of the privileged few. There was one poster that fittingly read, because of the COVID-19 pandemic -- "If [you] think it is hard to breathe with a mask, imagine what it must be like to be Black."

The protests and movement must continue until much needed change is enacted to ensure this time will not be the same as the other times when people forget, apathy sets in and the status quo endures.

juste de l'amour ou amélie, Janet Brien, Christiane ♥.•*¨`*•✿, buonacoppi and 34 other people have particularly liked this photo

I have to agree that the protests must continue, but at what cost to the spread of the coronavirus. Social distancing seems to have been entirely ignored, not only in the USA but also in the UK and elsewhere.

Amelia, a study was just released last night based on the protests in NYC. These protests contributed to no spikes in COVID-19 cases since the overwhelming majority of participants wore protective face coverings. Having participated in two myself, I found it reassuring just about everyone here acted responsibly unlike the "open-up" protesters of which, few wore face masks. Also in NYC, just before every protest, people were instructed to take precautions -- wear face masks, social distance as best as possible and even given hand sanitizer and gloves. Mass gatherings at bars and beaches and the refusal of those to take protective measures are the real concern. So far, even outside of NY, every surge is attributable to rushed and reckless re-openings.

also in Italy and in other European Countries there have been demonstrations of solidarity with the Black People and protests against the brutal policemen who killed black people. I hope a change will come soon....

Je partage votre avis et je trouve que cet affichage est significatif,du moins révélateur..!
J’espère que tout ceci s’arrêtera un jour et que l'humain prônera la complémentarité entre tous les hommes et toutes les communautés de toutes races..!

Yes William, I am afraid it is a problem of all peoples and people in this world that tolerance, respect and courtesy are expected, but not always willing to give these qualities to others in the same way...

Me hago una pregunta ingenua. ¿Nunca muere un blanco a manos de la policía en EEUU?
Lo pregunto porque nunca oigo que se produzcan saqueos por la muerte de un blanco.

Enough is enough, in fact.
Images and words that touch deeply.
Hopefully they will also reach the hearts of the oppressors,
and not only the oppressors of black people.

Thanks for sharing this expressive collage!
Stay safe and stay well, William!

A great collage, William. There also were marches in cities here. Yes, let's hope there is some ongoing progress toward equality after all these years.

I agree with Roger. My sister's 4 grandchildren are mixed race and I want them to grow up without their colour being an issue. There will be changes here, that's for sure.
Best wishes to you William.
Take care.

Hope these changes happen since no one should have to live with color being an issue! Best wishes, Rosalyn!

LOVE this collage, William.
... but what a pity to have and see such foolishness again in the midst of horrors already experienced. This world wearies me, William. To say the least.
Have a nice day, and do take good care of yourself there.

An illuminating collage, but one that I cannot bear to read. All of this BLM stuff makes me completely crazy for a million reasons that I'm sure you can list yourself. Thank you for making a point though, it's very important!
