abstract="The Black Lives Matter movement has called for the abolition of capital punishment in response to what it calls &quot;the war against Black people&quot; and &quot;Black communities.&quot; This article defends the two central contentions in the movement's abolitionist stance: first, that US capital punishment practices represent a wrong to black communities rather than simply a wrong to particular black capital defendants or particular black victims of murder, and second, that the most defensible remedy for this wrong is the abolition of the death penalty.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
