The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is calling out supporters of the racial justice movement who have gone silent since 2020.
A new campaign from the NAACP shows a white woman participating in Blackout Tuesday on June 2, 2020, when Instagram users posted pictures of black squares with the hashtag #BlackOutTuesday to protest racism and police brutality after the police killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor. The woman proceeds to make posts of herself holding protest signs and books on antiracism for the next two months before returning to her normal life.
Flash forward to September 2024 and the woman mutes TV news coverage of ongoing racial injustices.
