Q:<\/strong> How is Social Justice and Black Lives Matter affecting your life today? R:<\/strong> Social Justice and the Black Lives Matter movement have made a lot of progress over the years. Throughout history, there have been a lot of sacrifices made to give the Black community a better life, so we need to continue walking down that path made for us to succeed. As a young Black woman, I always was told about the unfairness I might experience and it gave me the strength to do my best to be more than what was expected of me.\u00a0 I believe in Social Justice and Black Lives Matter because they are not just about Black lives, but everyone who is discriminated against. – Leancia (Leelee) B.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lift Every Voice and Sing,<\/span>
\nTill earth and heaven ring,<\/span>
\nRing with the harmonies of Liberty;<\/span>
\nLet our rejoicing rise<\/span>
\nHigh as the list’ning skies,<\/span>
\nLet it resound loud as the rolling sea.<\/span>
\nSing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,<\/span>
\nSing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;<\/span>
\nFacing the rising sun of our new day begun,<\/span>
\nLet us march on till victory is won.<\/span><\/p>\n
