The Black Lives Matter Protests was a series of public demonstrations organized in order to draw attention to criminal justice and racial justice issues around the state. For months, the Laramie Human Rights Network organized daily demonstrations, letter wiriting sessions, fundraisers, and other community events to educate and advocate for reform and justice. Demonstrations erupted initially as a response to the murder of George Floyd, continued as a call for justice for Laramie's Robbie Ramirez and all other victims of police brutality.
The collection contains publications, photographs, newspaper clippings, and flyers relating to the Black Lives Matter Protests that were organized by the Laramie Human Rights Network during the summer and fall of 2020.
There are no access restrictions on the materials for research purposes, and the collection is open to the public.
