The Black Lives Matter movement is committed to fighting back against police brutality and the wrongful death of Black people at the hands of law enforcement. The latest such event that has dominated national headlines is the death of George Floyd, a Black man from Minneapolis who was killed during an arrest. George Floyd is only the latest in a long line of Black men and women killed during interactions with law enforcement. The abuse and death of Black people such as Rodney King, Trayvon Martin, Breonna Taylor, Elijah McClain, and Eric Garner have sparked protests in the past, with these key figures representing the Black community as a whole. The Black Lives Matter movement, which is currently sweeping the world to demand change and reform, shows no signs of slowing down.

However, it is not only the victims of police violence that can elicit change. The loved ones that these victims leave behind also have the power to make a difference. For example, the mothers of some of the victims of police brutality have stood up to speak out against the system that killed their children. Everyone has a mother, and these mothers have drawn the strength to not only continue on after the loss of their children, but to help change the world for future generations. Thus, instead of just reacting to the pain, these powerful mothers are transmuting their pain as catalysts for change.
