“…Shortly after Barack Obama began his second term as president in 2012, a Black teenager named Trayvon Martin was followed, attacked, and murdered by a man who assumed that, because he was a Black teen wearing a hoodie and walking in an affluent neighborhood, Trayvon was somewhere he did not belong (Munro, 2020).

Anti-Black racism has plagued the United States since the birth of the nation. It is apparent in acts of violence, in individual interactions, and in the systems that create and maintain our society. Psychology has evolved from promoting racist theories to exploring implicit biases and the effects of racism on the physical and mental health of marginalized communities. In light of recent social unrest following the death of an unarmed Black man due to police brutality, psychology's organizations have published statements condemning racism. This article explores the connections between values espoused by the Black Lives Matter movement and humanistic psychology and argues that statements against racism are not sufficient. It is time for humanistic psychologists to take action and stand for social justice.
