An important modern-day protest movement in 2021 is the new uprising in support of Black Lives Matter. This movement was founded nearly a decade ago but only in 2020 with the murder of George Floyd did the movement really pick up speed. Protests erupted throughout the country and more awareness was brought to this social injustice. Now, with many supporters, laws are being passed to help lower the amount of police brutality cases, and help African Americans feel more safe in the United States.
