The social movement Black Lives Matter - BLM - was started to highlight racial discrimination in the USA. But some young African activists think we need a #BLM movement in Africa too. Host Claude Grunitzky talks to activists in Senegal, Ghana and South Africa and asks them why BLM matters to them - and to Africa.

Ernesto Yeboah, the founder and commander in chief of the Economic Fighters League (EFL), an anti-corruption movement  in Ghana. He organized a vigil in solidarity with BLM, following the murder of George Floyd.

Wise Bayano, an artist from Senegal and one of the three founders of Africa for Black Lives. It’s a social media movement started in Dakar to show solidarity with the activism in the US.

Dimpho Legkeu who is actually one of our producers here at the Limitless podcast. She kept a BLM banner on her social media profiles.
