4. Blackout Tuesday
The lure of Blackout Tuesday continues to be a thing on social media as we witness several people from all walks of life committed to buying Black every Tuesday. The record labels also did a version of Blackout Tuesday as well.
The movement was initially created by two black women music executives, Jamila Thomas and Brianna Agyemang, as a day to honor and support the blackness with the hashtag, #TheShowMustBePaused.
“In response to the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and countless other Black citizens at the hands of the police, #TheShowMustBePaused is an initiative created … in observance of the long-standing racism and inequality that exists from the boardroom to the boulevard,” a statement from Thomas and Agyemang on the movement’s website explains. “We will not continue to conduct business as usual without regard for Black lives.”
