Black Lives Matter Movement - Colmer's Hill, Dorset, UK

Residents of the tiny Dorset village of Symondsbury are this morning unfurling a Black Lives Matter banner on top of local landmark Colmers Hill in protest at the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, whose funeral is taking place today.
A cortege carrying the banner, which measures 12 metres by 8 metres, passed through the village and through the rolling Dorset countryside to the top of the hill.
Throughout the village BLACK LIVES MATTER signs have sprouted outside thatched houses and in hedgerows amidst the cowparsley and elderflower. But this village, like many others, has failed to welcome black people in the past.
Said villager Emily Bolton, a lawyer with the charity APPEAL , which fights miscarriages of justice in this country, “The conversations (socially distanced of course) that took place as this banner was stitched in our garden are part of what the Black Lives Matter movement is making happen: white people examining their own complicity in a racist society. I have lived on both sides of the Atlantic and I know that on this side, we don’t talk about or challenge these things like they do in the States. Maybe draping an ancient English hillside with the same words that are emblazoned in the street formerly known as Pennsylvania Plaza will do something to change that.”
