Day 15 – CRM vs. BLM Pictures Worth a Thousand Words
Today, we end our focus on CRM vs BLM movements with “pictures are worth a thousand words.” We will take a pictorial tour comparing the CRM vs BLM. We will then view pictures and a video of the BLM movement over against the January 6 siege of the U.S. Capitol, and how police responded to each group. We will conclude with a look at BLM impact in our country and around the world.
Theses series of photos demonstrate the similarities of the BLM vs CRM protests which took place in America in the 1960s - click here to view and read.
