Room 5ABC

#BlackLivesMatter has become a powerful call to action in similar shootings of young African American males, but has also been a catalyst for communities of color to band together. We'll explore the genesis of this movement, how it's reshaping conversations, creating a dialogue around the value of life, and what it's done to reignite a civil rights movement in this country.
