Did you catch the BLM, DBFH hidden messages in Elizabeth Warren's speech?
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren displayed the acronym for the Black Lives Matter movement in the background of her virtual speech Wednesday at the Democratic National Convention.
Warren subtly showed her support of the movement with the letters "BLM," spelled out in children blocks in the background of her speech, which was filmed at the Early Childhood Education Center in Springfield, Massachusetts.
The blocks were the only explicit reference to the Black Lives Matter movement during Warren's speech and she didn't mention the blocks behind her.

Warren mentioned several of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's policy proposals, including his "build back better" jobs plan and student loan initiative, but she mainly focused on his plans for child care.
"We build infrastructure like roads, bridges and communications systems so that people can work. That infrastructure helps us all because it keeps our economy going. It's time to recognize that childcare is part of the basic infrastructure of this nation—it's infrastructure for families," Warren said.
The senator was one candidate on a very crowded Democratic presidential field until dropping out in March.
While out with protesters calling for justice for George Floyd in front of the White House this summer, Warren told the Washington Post, "I’m here today because nothing changes if we don’t speak out. It is not enough to stay comfortable in our homes and offices and say we stand in solidarity. It’s important that we get out on the front lines and call out racism everywhere."
In 2015, during her remarks at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute, Warren also spoke on police brutality.
"Fifty years later, violence against African Americans has not disappeared. Consider law enforcement. The vast majority of police officers sign up so they can protect their communities. ...We know that. But we also know – and say – the names of those whose lives have been treated with callous indifference," Warren said in the 2015 speech. "Sandra Bland. Freddie Gray. Michael Brown. We've seen sickening videos of unarmed, black Americans cut down by bullets, choked to death while gasping for air – their lives ended by those who are sworn to protect them."

The "BLM" letters were not the only hidden message in Warren's speech. The letters "DBFH" could also be seen. It stands for "dream big, fight hard," a campaign slogan of her's.
The Center for Urban and Racial Equity created a Racial Justice Presidential Candidate Scorecard for the 2020 election, in which Warren scored the highest of the candidates, receiving an A-.
The scorecard "summarizes the presidential candidates' policy proposals through a racial equity lens across key areas," according to the center's website.
The candidates were scored on voting and indigenous rights, racial wealth gap, immigration, criminal, environmental and reproductive justice, education equity, reparations, and their record and rhetoric.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., also received an A-, however Warren got a 92 out of 100 grade while Sanders received a 90. Biden received a D rating on the scorecard.
Warren's acronyms weren't the only hidden messages slipped into a DNC speech. On Monday night, former first lady Michelle Obama wore a necklace that spelled "VOTE."
The hidden message was met with many praising Warren.
'When people ask why I chose to support Elizabeth Warren and become a surrogate for her (campaign) in 2020, I tell them 'She just gets it.' Now I'll also show them this photo," Frederick Joseph, the author of "The Black Friend," tweeted last night with a photo of Warren in front of the "BLM" letters.
Indiana congressional candidate Jeannine Lake also tweeted her support, saying "LIZ LOVES BLM ...Subliminal messaging with the alphabet letters."
California Gov. Gavin Newsom also showed his support for Warren in a tweet.
