A year has passed since the murder of George Floyd united the world in protest, vigils and demonstrations supporting the Black Lives Matter movement. However, despite crowds flooding city streets, organisations vehemently committing to change and a global social media blackout pushing this long-running movement to the front of the cultural conversation, pro-black activism is still met with hostility in many places.
To explore how much has actually changed, how far we’ve come and how far we still need to go, we’ve gathered a panel of experts including writer-activist Joshua Virasami, psychologist and author Guilaine Kinouani, and academic and activist Kehinde Andrews to dissect and analyse this generation-defining grassroots movement.
