Thanks she.. great compilation of pics to illustrate the Beauty of Black Lives and the Sadness of what was taken away by vicious violent Police Brutality.

We Shall Rise~Thank you, Maya Angelou, We Will Be Triumphant~

Not this time. It has to change here, a huge change. I am not stupid and believe it will end overnight, however it is a new beginning. The light is sharply focused. It is a turning point.

Thank you Cha for Maya's quote.

Wow! Thank you, sistah, for this post. We haven't always seen eye to eye, but I respect you and just want to send my gratitude for this along with best wishes for the season.

Best to you and yours for the holidays.

Peace to us all tblue~

For getting outside and being seen. This must change. Black lives matter.

I participated in a protest in New Mexico today. Albuquerque has had a major problem with police shooting unarmed people. The Department of Justice is investigating and should issue a report soon. It's intolerable. The whole system should be changed, starting with police training in nonviolence.

It will change, thanks to all these protesters.

It warms my heart that so many around the country participated.

Looking at these beautiful people, you can see the warmth in their hearts.

Have a good weekend!

I really do lovemydog.

All the best to you and your loved ones. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Come on, people!

So unbelievably sad.

She should be with an alive father right now.

I agree with your other comments too. It's really disheartening to me that people keep posting so much bs on so many other threads, when these historic and internationally known events are taking place right now.

I too am ashamed at so-called democrats who keep berating the President incessantly. It's interesting to me that that have all that outrage toward our President, yet consistently express almost nothing for these kinds of threads and images.

Oh well sheshe2. I am glad there are some people here who I really like and enjoy. You among them! I can feel the humanity though all your posts.

It hurts my soul, I can only imagine her pain. I lost my dad a few weeks ago, however that was from old age and Alzheimer. Eric Garner never got that chance, lovingmydog.

Thank you for you kind words.

May your dad rest in peace.

Thanks sheshe2.

Amazing photos. And Maya Angelou!

it has started..... and much, much more.

And none of us are going to sit down and shut up. Together we can do this. I am sick of the blissful ignorance or is it arrogance that make people not understand the terms black lives matter and white privilege exists.

agreed~

Your whole post is wonderful, sheshe

I agree the poem should be put to music so it soars~

Thanks for thinking

nypd would have a difficult time looking into Eric's eyes.

...on the numbers at the rallies?
Sick and tired of the "Press" and other media always downplaying the numbers that show up for these important social movements.
TIA.

Thank you for caring about this issue to those who did recommend this thread!!!

And to the marchers!!!!

I think those eyes will haunt me for the rest of my life as do the other lost souls.

Good work, She!

Maybe that's part of the funk I've been in lately. Would've loved to go but couldn't. Sweet memories from youth, at least. A friend got to go though, and he kept posting videos on FB so it was almost like being with everyone.

That's a great Angela Davis quote. Thanks for the OP.
