Between the Protests, the Quiet Community Work of BLM

Esha Sarai

   The street protests that flooded American cities have largely ended,
   and a new administration is settling in in Washington, but the Black
   Lives Matter movement that arose in response to a series of police
   killings last summer has not gone away.

   In some places, it has simply moved into a new phase, such as
   Birmingham, Alabama, where Jilisa Milton, who co-founded the historic
   city's BLM chapter, started a coalition to gauge what people in her
   community think needs the most financial attention from local
   government.
