I’ve been asked, ”How do I peacefully participate in the Black Lives Matter protest?” My answer is simple and difficult at the same time: Talk. Engage in conversation. You don’t have to protest in the streets to be a part of the fight against racism. Challenge yourself by having the difficult conversations about race. Express your opinion to someone who has a different opinion than yours. If you are white, learn by respectfully asking a Black person—someone you know and is open to a dialogue—about black culture, about what it’s like to be Black. If you don’t know someone Black, read about the experience of being Black in 2020. Just don’t be silent. Remember soft voices get heard too. Be a part of a big change in your own little corner of the world. Talk. Learn. Vote.
