News Post 17

Today I read an article on US today about actor Isaiah Washington. In this article it says that Washington has announced that he wants all African Americans to boycott work on Monday."No work. No school. No shopping for 24 hours". He posted this announcement on Facebook as part of the Black Lives Matter movement. The purpose of this is to make a statement to show how the lves of African Americans are needed and do matter.  According to Washington, this protest is also to  "maintain the safety of our people, while significantly impacting America's broken judicial system that is oppressing us by removing our labor, our bodies and our money from it...for 24 hours." This protest is expected to happen on September 26, 2016.
