Description

This project looks at how enslavement during the Transatlantic Slave trade has shaped biases and behaviors towards people of color within our society today. More specifically, this would include incarceration rates among people of color, police brutality, and overall violence. We believe the Black Lives Matter Movement is a political and social movement that fights against violence and fights for the rights of people of color. We aim to showcase the violence that people of color still face within our society today.
