“The young people of Sheffield, the country and the world reject bigotry and violence and the actions that occurred in Minneapolis in the US on 25 May.

“We stand together with the black community against such institutional racism and demand change now.”

Individuals and organisations will be honouring Black Out Tuesday in different ways, but the take home message is the same - black lives matter.
