While watching the Grammy awards this past Sunday, I was pleased we took a moment to focus on some of our issues in our country. When Beyonces performance came on, I noticed her backup dancers had black hoodies on with their hands in the air while dancing. At first I was confused, but then I realized it was a " Hands up Don't shoot." protest. In reference, to the Ferguson shooting.
Then president Barack Obama came on with a PSA about Domestic Violence against women. 1-3 women are victims of domestic violence sometime in their life, yet many keep silent about it. By addressing this issue it will help victims come forward and have a voice. Our Country doesn't do nearly enough to help women who are victims, having this PSA was a big step!
