We talked about identity and the importance of symbols for different groups to increase visibility.

Why do you think that the ‘Black Lives Matter’ slogan has grown in individual and cultural importance?

What do you think about the use of similar slogans to capitalise on this, like:

Blue Lives Matter: https://bluelivesmatternyc.org/

Or the International Association of Gerontology & Geriatrics use of ‘Old Lives Matter’: https://twitter.com/IAGG_2021/status/1305606709205970946

Please also reflect on the impact of visibility and normalization on acceptance and what impact that may have on subculture identity
