On February 27, 2018, the students of Flowers High School participated in a blackout. They wore all black in honor of the Black Lives Matter movement. Those who dressed up took pictures and also enacted in activities where they can speak their opinion on how they felt about the Black Lives Matter movement.

The blackout was a bold statement to partake in, as students got a chance to connect with their black history and see how most of the hardships our forefathers endured during the period racism, still exist today.
