If you are not positive what Black Lives Matter is about. Or if you don’t really understand what it means when someone mentions systematic racism. Then I highly recommend you watch the documentary on Netlfix 13th. The 13th Amendment to the Constitution abolished slavery but some conditions were included which allowed a different type of slavery to proceed. Slavery was abolished in 1865, but that was also the same year states started establishing a state correctional system. I recommend watching it with a parent or adult who can explain things along the way if needed. I hope to have 8th graders see this in school next year.
