Abstract
- While all lives do matter, the humanity of all lives is not collectively recognized.
- Violent contexts place an extraordinary amount of stress on Black youth, families, and communities.
- Systematic violence causes multiple transitions in families and threatens families' psychosocial adjustment.
- The collectivistic approach served as an adaptive response to varying levels of oppression faced by Black people since arriving in the Americas.
- Black Lives Matter has significant implications for the work of family life educators, researchers, and practitioners.
