This is a very well constructed vid that's full of palpable anger but also hope and admiration for the Black Lives Matter movement. I really like that the vid's focus was on action and protest, stretching back decades when the song names Emmett Till, reflecting specific signs and rallies but also a united struggle and refusal to be silent. I also appreciate that through the speaking clips and the song choice itself, it's rooted in the voices of those most affected. Kudos for respectfully handling a very tough subject to vid.
