ABSTRACT

The officer who murdered George Floyd by pressing his knee on his neck symbolizes the chokehold systemic racism and antiblackness has had on Black people. The Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement has provided a critical space where marginalized people of color can find their voice by engaging in social activism as well as a space where they can process and reflect on the larger issues that are affecting them in society. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to discuss how through a Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) project that addressed extrajudicial killings by creating a Día de los Muertos float led to youth finding critical hope, which lent itself to radical healing.

摘要

通过将膝盖压在脖子上谋杀乔治·弗洛伊德的军官，象征着黑人系统性的种族主义和反黑人。黑人生活（BLM）运动提供了一个至关重要的空间，边缘化的有色人种可以通过参与社会活动来表达自己的声音，也为他们处理和思考影响到他们的较大问题提供了空间。因此，本文的目的是讨论通过一个青年参与行动研究（YPAR）项目如何通过创建Díalos Muertos浮游生物来解决法外处决，该项目如何导致青年找到至关重要的希望，从而为彻底治愈提供了希望。
