The revolution for Black Lives Matter spread across the world when the world saw that horrific footage of George Floyd being killed by an American police officer. If we are truly to eradicate racism then everyone has to be in this together. This special episode of Two Chickpeas in a Podcast explores what the South Asian community can do to eradicate racism towards black people, how Gandhi himself was a racist, and how the peaceful protests that took place in London and across the globe have been portrayed negatively in the media. The Two Chickpeas felt this is a time for everyone voices to be heard and this episode does just that as a number of guests have contributed their thoughts to this episode or got in touch via zoom to carry on the many necessary conversations that need to be had surrounding the Black Lives Matter Movement. This is a movement; not a moment.
