‘Organizations like SNCC really laid the foundation for Black youth like me who want to be able to create radical change together,’ says Abdullah, co-founder of the Black Lives Matter Los Angeles Youth Vanguard.
‘I see myself and my comrades as a continuation of a long legacy of organizing, and in order to properly carry on that legacy it’s important to be informed about the past.’

We are constantly inspired by the grassroots organizing of Black youth. Special thanks to @keeangayamahtta and Thandiwe Abdullah for this mentioning us in this feature, we hope to see you and your comrades at our conference!
