Abstract

This study seeks to examine differences between samples of undergraduate students collected before and after the Black Lives Matter resurgence in May 2020. We expect the sample collected after May 2020 to exhibit less explicit bias, more moral anger, and less favorable evaluations of the U.S. criminal justice system.
