Black Lives Matter Moves Forward

On the Media | Jul 22, 2016

The Black Lives Matter movement has experienced an onslaught of anger and hostility in recent weeks from those who claim that the movement is directly responsible for recent attacks on police. Patrisse Cullors, one of BLM's founders, returns to OTM to set the record straight about what the movement she helped to build is actually trying to accomplish. For one thing, she says that the call to action goes beyond addressing police brutality -- and it starts with building up communities that have long been subject to violence in all forms.
