When They See Us

When you log onto Netflix today, you will see a carefully curated list of titles that only begin to tell the complex and layered stories about racial injustice and Blackness in America. netflix.com/blacklivesmatt…

When we say “Black Lives Matter,” we also mean “Black storytelling matters.” With an understanding that our commitment to true, systemic change will take time – we're starting by highlighting powerful and complex narratives about the Black experience.

One year ago today, "When They See Us" was released on Netflix.

TODAY. Join @ava on Instagram at 5pm PST.

To be silent is to be complicit. Black lives matter. We have a platform, and we have a duty to our Black members, employees, creators and talent to speak up.

In a new online education initiative, launched by Ava DuVernay, supplemental learning materials will be produced for students in grades nine and above, becoming a resource to those looking to further their knowledge of social justice and advocacy thr.cm/MhV8eCD

Today, @ARRAYNow is proud to launch vibrant learning companions around everything that we produce and distribute. We begin with WHEN THEY SEE US. All of our educational materials are free and downloadable for students of all kinds at array101.org. Onward. #ARRAY101.
