I would be curious to know. I associate the BLM with burning down buildings, rioting, blocking streets, and violence. Haven't heard much else about them except that.
Yes they where awarded Global Peace Award, They have been involved in thousands of protests around the globe, they tackle a number issues , violence is very rare and never part of their platform. This is really easy info to find, if you just look on their website you can read all about the movement.
