When SXSW had its initial discussion on Black Lives Matter, I noticed that the conversation was led and curated by non-millennials. I found it odd that a movement, which was started and has been fueled by youth and young adults, was being represented by older, disconnected individuals. The narrative of this entire movement is constantly being formed by media and an older generation, and it will continue to happen that way unless this generation is given the opportunity to speak for themselves. The entire purpose of this session would be to hear directly from the mouths of millennials in the movement. Let's give millennials a chance to bring new ideas to the table. Let millennials be heard.

SXSW’s original goal was to create an event that would act as a tool for creative people and the companies they work with to develop their careers, to bring together people from a wide area to meet and share ideas. That continues to be the goal today whether it is music, film or interactive technologies.
