A “Black Lives Matter” Vigil and walk was held in Sioux Falls this weekend. The group marched to the Minnehaha County Administration building. Intercultural Program Coordinator with the University of South Dakota, Lena Tran was at the vigil

Tran says she hopes the publicity of the walk from the Sioux Falls movement will create more dialogue and discussions about the Black Lives Matter movement. Tran says it starts with a question

Tran says to her, BLM is about focus and awareness to a deep rooted history and the realities of racism in American, not exclusion

Tran says honesty and an open mind is a good start to a meaningful discussion about solutions to the countries racism issues.
