monochromaticblack:Philadelphians Stand in Solidarity with the Chibok234Above are images from a rally I attended today held at Love Park in Philadelphia, PA. The objective of the demonstration was to show support and solidarity toward the hundreds of Nigerian schoolgirls abducted by terrorist group, Boko Haram, over two weeks ago. Local activists, poets, and professors addressed the crowd to express their frustrations with the lack of international media attention the story has received, the perpetuation of rape culture that enables these acts of violence, and the world’s refusal to acknowledge black people’s humanity.The crowd broke into chants of “Black Girls Matter,” “We are Africans,” and “Bring Back Our Girls” while walking through downtown Philadelphia in an effort to raise awareness of this situation as well as stress the importance of protecting the well-being of black girls across the globe.
