Muhiyidin Moye speaking at a conference in Atlanta, GA.
One of the Black Lives Matter activists that I want to learn more about is Muhiyidin El Moye - He was born April 22, 1985 in Poughkeepsie, NY. He attended school at the University of South Carolina. He got shot and died in 2016. He was most known for crossing yellow police tape to get a confederate flag in Charleston, SC.
MY THOUGHTS ON RACE IN AMERICA TODAY
The world is getting better but slowly. There are still a lot of people being put in danger. There are a lot of people fighting for their rights. People like Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcom X made a huge difference with racism in US.
