stunning to see thousands of protestors laying down on the bridge with their hands behind their backs. this may be the largest, most diverse movement in american history. #BlackLivesMatter
Here’s how this scene was viewed live in Australia. One of America’s closest and most dependable allies. Rendered speechless. Just watch.
This is how change begins.
