Power and The Lens of Implicit Bias

Black Lives Matter and Power Events of the last few years, including the murder of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor in the United States, have heightened the endorsement of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement created in 2013 by three Black community organizers, Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi (Black Lives Matter, 2013). Since its founding, the movement has expanded to the Black Lives Matter Global Network, with sponsored grass roots activism in Canada and the UK. Central to their efforts is their work to, "… eradicate white supremacy and build local power…". The movement is not focused on one, high profile leader, but instead seeks to harness the power of a community.
