The Black Lives Matter movement isn't just a trending hashtag. The fight for better creating a better country for all to live in is still on-going. Keep up the good fight; it's a marathon, not a sprint. While there is little in terms of Black representation in the anime world, this week we highlight some badass Black main characters that we are familiar with! Things get serious at the end, but it's very important that we all listen and be aware of the injustices that are happening around us.
