So since a lot of people like to spend their day watching Netflix and Hulu, I’m going to make a thread of documentaries, series, and movies depicting black history, systematic oppression, and riots:
Baltimore Rising
Events following after Freddie Gray dies in police custody.

It chronicles a white police officer's stop and, ultimately, arrest of a Breaion King, a 26-year-old African-American school teacher from Austin, Texas.
3 1/2 Minutes 10 Bullets
This documentary explores the death of Jordan Davis and researches on Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” self-defense law.

Whose Streets?

Black Lives
Docu-series on how African-Americans fight for their rights, strive for success and struggle to lift themselves out of poverty.
Fruitvale Station
Movie on the last day of Oscar Grant’s life. A man shot by BART police officer.
And there is many more: feel free to add to this thread. The intention of this thread to bring light to the fact that the events that have occurred in the past few days are not new.
I am merely an advocate for education and encourage everyone to research :)
Also don’t forget to donate and spread love, change is coming ❤️
