Instagram Goes Black In Support Of #BlackLivesMatter

If you were scrolling down your timeline today and noticed that there was less colour than usual, here’s why. In support of the #BlackLivesMatter movement and the recent unrest that has blown up the United States due to a video released that showed the merciless murder of another black man, George Floyd, today was set aside to darken the gram for awareness.

Too many statements have been made, noise has been made and the streets have been alive, but today, silence speaks. The hashtag #blackouttuesday has been used in conjuction with totally blacked out images to state the case with more gusto.

To join in, users simply post a black square onto their feed – and then commit not to post over the rest of the day. Instructions on how to do so can be found below.
