Drawing and message in support of Black Lives Matter from 2nd July

The images containing only text read:

“I am not Black.  It is not my place to speak on behalf of the Black community. Instead, I urge that you listen to the voices of the Black community / BIPOC / BAME communities and educate yourself on instances of systemic racism and police brutality.

Nobody said your life doesn’t matter. But all lives can’t matter until Black lives matter. Yes, everyone’s life should matter. Then start working towards that being true! Don’t make excuses. Actions speak louder than words. Speak out against injustice whenever you can.

Here’s some resources where you can find out more:

-> ally.wiki is a document that contains links to many petitions, places to donate, how to contact officials, and where you can go to further educate yourself

- > impact.crd.co contains links with info relating to BLM as well as other global issues that you should know about” (end of text slide 1)

“Say their names. Say as many as you can. There are countless others who have already been forgotten. Do not let any more slip away. We must continue to demand justice for all.

We must say the names of and demand justice for those who have been discriminated against, mistreated, injured or murdered, including:

Michael Brown, Sandra Bland, Tamir Rice, Eric Garner, Trayvon Martin, Freddie Gray, Alton Sterling, Philando Castile, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Emmett Till, Elijah McClain, George Floyd, Regis Korchinski-Paquet, Dion Johnson, James Scurlock, Tamla Horsford, Dafonte Miller, Dominique Fells, Tshegofatso Pule, Riah Milton, Robert Fuller, Robert Anthony Wood, David McAtee, Ala’junaye Davis, Ndella Jack, Belly Mujinga, Joāo Pedro, Pamela Turner, Ahmaud Arbery, Emerald Black, Amiya Braxton, Darrius Stewart, Jennifer Jeffley, Dreasjon “Sean” Reed, Althea Bernstein, Oluwatoyin Salau, Rayshard Brooks,Anthony Evans, Justin Howell , Willie Simmons, Anthony Wint,  Albert Wilson, Chrystul Kizer,   Crystal Mayson, Cameron Green, Amari Boone, Collins Khosa, Rashad Cunningham, Jonas Joseph, Tazne Van Wyk, Eric Riddick, Angel Bumpass, Chaffin Darnel Y, Kenneth Reams, Ashton Dickson, Anderson Arboleda, Kyjuanzi Harris, Cláudia da Silva Ferreira, Crosley Green, Kenneka Jenkins, Shantel Davis, Christopher Terrell, Mubarak Soulemane, Sheku Bayoh, Martin Gugino, Cameron Lamb, Darrien Hunt, Matthew Tucker, George Dreher, Shukri Abdi, David Dorn, Darren Rainey, LaVena Johnson, Sandy Guardiola, Maurice Gordon Jr, Jemel Roberson, Dana Fletcher, Taliya Denham, Dominique Clayton, Michael Dean, Wallace Gardner Jr, Jaleel Stallings, Lakith Smith, A’Donte Washington, Robert Fuller, Kevin Penn, Nina Pop, Kayla Moore, Marcus Malone, Rodey Reed, Tshego Pule, Jamelia Hinds Vicks, Alaa Massri, Oliver Campbell, Jamarion Robinson, Kimmie Duncan, Kadijah Madinatu Saccoh, Ryan Twyman, Kendrick Johnson, Tyler Lumar, Cornelius Fredericks, Donny Sanders, Christopher Kalonji, Kenneth Walker, Muhlaysia Booker, Merci Mack, Brayla Stone, Elijah Nichols” (end of text slide 2)

Please note the names were only the ones I could gather from research at the time of the drawing.

Statement copied from my Twitter:

“I support #BlackLivesMatter. I will be making an effort to be actively anti-racist and anti-discrimination, and will continue to self-educate.

Drawing this made me reflect on how little I draw Black characters. Apart from Quinn from Final Space, I realised that I can't remember the last time I drew someone who was Black. I'm making it my goal to improve diversity in my art and practice drawing more varied characters.“
