#BlackLivesMatter: From a Cry Against Racial Injustice to Changing Socio-Political Landscape of America

Picture sourced from The World (Public Radio Program)


The United States of America has for decades conditioned the world into thinking that it indeed was and still is the beacon of freedom. The 1st Amendment of the constitutional law has become synonymous with a trite that is quoted in the most unsuspected places. However, not so far in History after the abolitionist movement took place in the USA, and the black slaves were lawfully freed – instances like Rosewood Massacre and Tulsa war served as a reminder that perhaps, the racism had indeed seeped deep in the culture of the American land. And perhaps, laws alone did not do much justice to help mitigate the cause of Black People and perhaps, there was still a dire need for the institutional as well as, societal racism to be dismantled from the ground up.
