Liverpool's most influential Black Lives Matter campaigners have said more needs to change in the city and across the world.
The Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement began in July 2013, following the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of African-American teen Trayvon Martin. But it was thrust into the global spotlight with the murder of George Floyd in May 2020, sparking protests across America and the rest of the world.
The movement was picked up here in Liverpool, with thousands taking a knee outside St George's Hall to show their solidarity with black communities in the city and across the world. It ignited debate in the city about street names and statues, but also had an impact on less diverse parts of Merseyside.
