Emma Watson Speaks out on Systematic Racism and How We Can Begin to Fight It
Emma Watson took to social media this week to speak out as a British citizen on the Black Lives Matter Movement.
The Harry Potter and recent Little Women actress is a very vocal and present activist for causes such as women’s rights, the environment, and racial equality. Watson shared many posts in honor of George Floyd and even addressed her followers directly through a letter regarding her thoughts on the events happening in America.
Although the actress is a British citizen she took the events occurring in the U.S. very seriously and even connected them to the UK and their part in it. She called out the education system for its racist retelling of history urging her fans to help tear down and reform the way we are taught as kids. Watson has been a huge advocate for The Black Curriculum an organization that teaches Black History inside and outside of schools in the UK. Their mission is to change the Black History education given to young people to fight the racist conditioning that education cultivates.
Though Watson may not be in the U.S. she is standing with the Black Lives Matters Movement. Join her in finding and promoting organizations that work to end racism in not only America but the world.
