Black Lives Matter

“Prejudice is a burden that confuses the past, threatens the future and renders the present inaccessible.” – Maya Angelou
 
Back in June and July, HappiMe focussed on bringing awareness to the importance of the #BLM movement. Here’s a special post shared at that time…
 
Since we are fighting for social change in a way we never have before, we thought these statistics were important to share:
 

• In 2018, a British study conducted by ONS showed that, on average, a black person will earn £1 per hour less than a white person doing the same job.
• In the USA, on average, black families earn 13% less than white families (published by Brookings).
• In 2018, 93% of the UK police force were white (published by Gov.UK).
  
  

What do you think of these?
