Associate Professor Todd Lawrence commented for Bloomberg News on how the Black Lives Matter social justice movement called him to action.
From the article: Numbers can’t tell the whole story; you can’t fully quantify backlash against social justice movements. Still, some of the researchers who began tracking these numbers felt called to mark a moment. For example, Todd Lawrence, an associate professor at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minn., helped start a database of street art protesting racism and police brutality. “It’s a way to remember the protest and get at the feelings people were having, the emotions, the demands that people were making—and let them not disappear,” he says.
