The Black Lives Matter Movement represents a new development in the long struggle for freedom for African-Americans, Africans, and descendants of the Black Diaspora globally. The death of George Floyd was a seminal moment in discussions concerning Black people, race, and violence in 2020. In this te Tiriti conference session on BLM, I would like to discuss the Black Lives Matter Movement as one organiser for the African, Māori, Pacific youth collective 'For The People' who organised a march for George Floyd and BLM in Auckland, Aotearoa in 2020. I would also like to speak about my work as a Sudanese community worker living in this country dealing with issues of justice, race relations, and emancipation.
Out of respect for our kaikōrero and ringa hāpai, we have not translated karakia, pepeha from Te Reo Māori to English.
This webinar was part of the Te Tiriti-based Futures + Anti-racism open access, online conference, 16-25 March 2024. #TBF2024 www.tiritibasedfutures.info
