Discussion

10215
Every week professors and students used the discussion board as a platform to share various issues related to #blacklivesmatter. Images, news articles, and other relevant texts were posted throughout the semester to spark conversation and encourage students to think critically about what #BLM represents beyond a social media hashtag.

Not every weekly discussion resulted in a post or thread of comments.
