Now that the big storm has mostly passed, people are starting to forget about the resolutions they made regarding Black Lives Matter, just like we all do around New Years. But that doesn’t mean it is all over.
So, we can do better. Keep this list bookmarked somewhere, add the movies and series to your ‘to watch’ list, add the books to your ‘to read’ list. You don’t have to get through the list in a month, that’s not very likely to happen. Rather put an alarm in your phone to remind you to choose something from you BLM-lists and commit to finish it. This way it doesn’t feel as forced and you will retain much more, as well as actually continue to learn. It is a marathon, not a sprint. Off you go!
