Before I start explaining this, I’m going to take a brief look at the reasons why have people been changing their profile picture to black, or posting black squares in their social media. This campaign has been started by two Atlantic senior directors of marketing Brianna Agyemang and Jamila Thomas.

This campaign is a reaction to what they describe as “the long-standing racism and inequality that exist from the boardroom to the boulevard” and started after the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

Their slogan was #TheShowMustBePaused in their social media. after that, a lot of record companies like Warner Music Group, Sony/Atv, Apple Music, etc have joined this campaign.
