While their artistic contributions have been noted, they have been largely excluded from past civil rights movements. The Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement offers new‐found hope for inclusion. BLM was founded on the principles of full inclusion of LGBTQ individuals. While this is noteworthy, it has not been without controversy because in order to embrace full inclusion, it was necessary for BLM to locate itself outside of the traditional Black church. Nevertheless, this has not negated the progress of BLM and its quest for equality. BLM's call for full inclusion challenges the field of adult education to examine its current practices and to create safe spaces for learning.
