#BlackSolidarityDay is an example of a day of protest and we just observed the 50th anniversary in November. Using it, we can see some examples of where #BlackOutTuesday has gone wrong.

I'll be pulling mainly from this NYPL piece: nypl.org/blog/2019/12/1…
It was strategically observed one day prior to Election Day. It was a call to "protest against the intensifying repression that threatens the very existence of black people in America"

You see the date was intentional, and the purpose was clear.
We've all heard of CoIntelPro. Always ask where/who did the protest come from?

"Carlos Russell, an activist, professor, and spokesperson for the Black Solidarity Committee, which was comprised of New York City-based educators, activists, community leaders, and politicians."
