- Police Violence
- Racist Attacks
- Symbols of Past Racial Division
- Learn about important movements and events of the past decade.


BIG IDEA:
During the 2010s the Black Lives Matter movement emerged as a response to police violence against African American men. The movement expanded as events brought a wide variety of problems facing minority communities to the nation’s attention. Despite the election of the first African American president, the past decade shows how divided and unequal America remains.
