The two events I attended, Shakespeare and an art gallery on
space, did not have anything to do with my topic so it doesn’t influence my
event. To promote black lives matter, I would have a peaceful protest. For my
event, my goal is to get a black live matter promoter in each state and we will
get people together to support black lives matter movement. We would plan a
protest in major cities on the same date and the same time. Our national protest
would make the news all over the country. We would have the most peaceful protest
there has been since the movement started. To new people to join the movement,
I would come out with a presentation disk and distribute it to each of my
promoters of each state to recruit more people to join our protest.
In my presentation, I would make
sure I make a clear understanding on why black lives matter. I would make it
clear that of course All Lives Matter but people need to care that black lives
matter because for a very long time black lives have always been at stake. A
lot of African Americans is discriminated every day. In my presentation, I will
also explain on how the movement started. The Black Lives Matter movement
started an organization through the Sentencing Project called Eliminating
Racial Inequity in the Criminal Justice System. The Sentencing Project is a
national non-profit organization engaged in research and advocacy on criminal
justice issues. The Black Lives Matter movement stated the saying “Black Lives
Matter” has been a cry by our citizens in the light of evidence that the
criminal justice system is failing to uphold this basic truth. The criminal
justice system’s high percentage of contact with people of color is a major
cause of African Americans’ excessive rate of fatal police encounters. The
Black Lives Matter movement encourages young African American males and females
to change their generation and doing positive things. The Black Lives Matter
also fight for black’s rights and to eliminate racial inequality. Police
brutality have gotten out of hand and the pass is starting to repeat itself. I
would explain all the people the police have done in 2015 and explain how none
of the officers got charged with anything. When people say black lives matter,
it is not because they're selfish, they know all lives matter. Nobody deserves
to be unarmed, shot, and killed with no justice. It is because black lives need
to be heard, respected, and valued like everyone else in this society. I hope
the presentation will bring people together and have them understand the
movement.
