It's Not Just In Your Head

CHAPTER

The Power of Protest

I think that the Black Lives Matter protests have had an effect. For the first time, the police who kill black people or accuse them of murder don't just get off. And now there's such force and scrutiny behind the police murdersthat it's much harder for the people who allowed the police to murder black people in the past to let them get away with it now. You need this kind of sustained pressure to actually make things change because I think it's very easy to ignore if in this case politicians know it's the one off thing.
