Thanks for the info. I have been working on a Wikipedia article for American Descendants of Slavery. The article is slated for deletion. I just got the notification today.
I have challenged the deletion on the premise that there is a Black Lives Movement, Blue Lives Matter movement, All Lives Matter movement, Me too movement; that all have Wikipedia articles. The ADOS movement is gaining ground and is a movement that has historical roots in America. It has attached itself as a tangible agenda in 2020 Presidential election in the USA. So far it has been very time consuming work, but rewarding. I daily keep up with the prominent drivers of the movement by viewing their YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook videos. And by ordering books on the subject. The #ADOS movement is a very current movement, and it has a major impact already in the 2020 Presidential election in USA. It is a movement that represents the power and influence of new media. Which cannot be ignored. I will be adding new references to the article that should help, and some book references. I will add the Wikipedia article to my blog, as backup. It is a very significant movement rooted in history, and the demands for reparations in America for African Americans (American Descendants of Slavery).
