The first mannequin challenge video I saw was well done; I was unaware of this new internet phenomenon. The mannequin challenge is when someone stands motionless in a position, typically depicting some sort of scene. The are people who gather large groups of people to help with the scene.
Tyrese posted to his Instagram a mannequin challenge video which depicts several incidents of police violence against unarmed black men in this country. Some of the scenes depicted are Philando Castile, Sandra Bland, Alton Sterling, and Trayvon Martin. Toward the end, there is a Malcolm X voice over with several pro-black scenes.
