As we see all over social media the seriousness and awareness against injustices pertaining to black lives, people hash tagging statements such as “#BlackLivesMatter”. Blacks like 17-year-old Trayvon Martin is dead and his killer George Zimmerman is not held accountable for the crime committed. Eric Garner is dead and his killer is not held accountable for his actions. Black lives matter is an intervention to let the world and systems know that Blacks also matter in a world they’re disregarded in. Blacks people are just as important and contribute to the society as any other race does. The march is to stop the injustices and unfair treat of blacks in our society. The protest is to stop violence against police brutality against Blacks. As you all know it is an important topic in the class. We are constantly trying to make sense of unjust situation at hand.
