Black Lives Matter turns 10 anniversary celebration

Black Lives Matter Grassroots

Festival celebrating 10 years since the creation of the Black Lives Matter movement

Leimert Park

SATURDAY, JULY 15, 2023 12-6PM…We’re shutting it all the way down in AfricaTown to celebrate #BlackLivesMatter’s 10th Anniversary!Can you believe that Black Lives Matter is turning 10 years old?!? We were birthed July 13, 2013 in Leiment park to build “a movement, not a moment” to end state-sanctioned violence against Black people in the wake of the acquittal of #TrayvonMartin’s murderer. For the last decade we have poured our blood, sweat, and tears into building #BlackLivesMatter as the largest racial and social justice movement in global history, with chapters around the world. We&#x27;re planning a huge celebration for Saturday, July 15th in Africa Town (Los Angeles&#x27; Leimert Park), the starting point of the first intuitive Black Lives Matter protest. This will be a celebration that you don’t want to miss, with performances, art, skill sharing, dialogue with movement veterans, a children’s village, healing services, vendors and an overall Black liberation vibe.The celebration is envisioned as a huge Black joy festival, a reunion of activists, organizers, families, and freedom fighters, a reclamation of the soul of Black Lives Matter, a chance to build our skills and restore our Spirits.#BLMTurns10If you are traveling to be with us during our 10th birthday, please feel free to use this link for a discounted hotel stay <a href="https://www.hilton.com/en/book/reservation/rooms/?ctyhocn=LAXABES&amp;arrivalDate=2023-07-14&amp;departureDate=2023-07-16&amp;groupCode=CESTAN&amp;room1NumAdults=1&amp;cid=OM%2CWW%2CHILTONLINK%2CEN%2CDirectLink" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Embassy Suites </a>Celebrate with us - <a href="https://form.jotform.com/231716331116042" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Send a Congratulations Video!</a>
