Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Fwd: BlackLives Matter Awarded Olof Palme Human Rights Prize

Delightful news indeed that the prize was awarded to The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation with an emphasis on the motivation for awarding the prize "peaceful civil disobedience against police brutality and racial violence".

This has to be emphasised as a corrective to some of the enemies and critics of Black Lives Matter who have mostly linked the movement to looting and burning

More on this in speeches made at the award ceremony
