The "✊🏼" emote, also known as the "Raised Fist: Medium-Light Skin Tone" emote, is a symbol of solidarity and support for various social justice movements. It originated from the Black Power movement in the 1960s and has since been used to represent movements such as feminism, anti-racism, and LGBTQ+ rights. The medium-light skin tone variation was added to provide representation for people with that skin tone.
