Ava DuVernay speaks out after photo of woman cutting off black man's locs goes viral: 'Lets replace those images'
Ava DuVernay is doing her part to turn a negative narrative about black youth’s hair into an empowering social media movement highlighting the beauty of natural locs. Her campaign, #loclife, comes in response to a viral post of a leader of a non-profit for at-risk youths, who is white, cutting the locs off of a young black man’s head.
A Twitter thread posted by Resist Programming explains the many reasons for the backlash — including resurfaced photos of President Sally Hardgrove smiling while cutting the hair of young black children for “change...and a better life” and promoting the saying “All Lives Matter.”They engage youth with activities, but it appears part of their agenda is #copaganda and a troubling practice of encouraging young black males to allow the director to cut off their dreads. pic.twitter.

I’ll start. xo pic.twitter.com/IAw0zjfwWN“Let’s replace those images of a Trump supporter gleefully cutting a young black man’s locs to give him a “better life”...
Former NFL player, Matthew Cherry, who created the short film and picture book Hair Love chimed in on the conversation with an important visual from his work.
