The Black Lives Matter movement may be a part of the mainstream consciousness now, especially after Black Lives Matter activists met with Barack Obama and with an HBO documentary about the movement on the way. But the work is, unfortunately, far from done, as seen earlier this month when Black Lives Matter crashed a New York comedy show to raise awareness about a teen who died in police custody. People besides Black Lives Matter members are working to remind people of black lives lost like Freddie Gray and Eric Garner, even if it means adding them to stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The Hollywood Walk of Fame got turned into a walk of shame for police brutality on Saturday reportsBreitbart.
The Rootreports the action was done by a group called Indecline led by Ryen McPherson, who spoke to The Root. Empty stars on the Walk of Fame were filled with the following names: Oscar Grant, Kimani Gray, Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Eric Garner, Freddie Gray, Dontre Hamilton, and Aiyana Stanley-Jones.
Indecline posted photos of the stars as well as a video of them adding the names.
The Root notes the names have since been removed as indicated by several social media users.
Breitbart reports a blog linked to Indecline's Instagram provides an explanation for the action. It reads:
Without providing too many details Indecline disclosed to Sputnik its next project involves Donald Trump.
