Black Lives Matter

When nationwide protests erupted over the death of George Floyd in the summer of 2020, my son and I had a lengthy talk with one of his coaches, a Black man who grew up in the inner city, to get his perspective on the events. He shared stories of being pulled over by the same cop—repeatedly—because he lived in a predominantly White neighborhood. He shared examples of painful comments directed toward him because of his race. Needless to say, it was eye-opening and heartbreaking.

The reality is that many Black people who have done no wrong live in fear in America today. Many have become accustomed to being looked at with suspicion and being treated differently because of the color of their skin.

This pain has been one of the driving forces behind the Black Lives Matter movement. While Christians can and should have deep concerns about the organization Black Lives Matter,[2] the statement that Black lives matter reflects a plea for people to be valued equally alongside other human beings. This plea has existed long before 2013, when the organization was formed. Are we listening?
