The Black lives matter event was a life altering experience that opened my eyes to current day discrimination in the United States. During this program, we got the opportunity to meet three individuals who are activist in their own rights and fighting for justice and equality. These individuals included Opal Tometi, one of the founders of the black lives matter organization, Andrea Densky, a brave woman of color who climbed a flagpole outside the South Carolina Statehouse and removed the confederate flag, and Pastor Herber Browry III who works along with community organizations in Baltimore addressing issues such as poverty and racism.
Throughout the seminar, each speaker talked about the reason they became activist and with the majority of

    No other event would be more uncomfortable, and that was why this one was perfect. A white, middle-class male attending a feminist African American event based around promoting the disrespectability of African American women towards white male figures in power. As the clock struck six, Dr. Brittney Cooper stepped onto the stage and opened her presentation, entitled Dis-Respectability: Towards A Ratchet Black Feminism. Nearly every other white male in the room seemed to visibly squirm in their seat. However, what followed was not a ninety-minute presentation on why white males need to be disrespected, but an enlightening dialogue about the failed efforts of African Americans to conform to white social constructs.…

    Helen Keller was once quoted as saying “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” From early on in the United States of America’s history, citizens again and again have demonstrated that as a group, they have the power to change the course of history. The American Civil Rights Movement was no exception. It was one of the first steps to true equality and a show of how powerful of an effect non-violence can have on a country. Although many African-Americans, or Negros as they were called at the time, stood up, few took the spotlight and led the movement such as Congressman John Lewis, or William Hampton, a lawyer and representative of NAACP.…

    The Black Lives Matter movement has swept the nation ever since the unjustified murdering of Trayvon Martin in 2012. During this time African Americans and other minorities were vulnerable and frightened yet came together across the world to make a drastic difference for the justice of these innocent young and old lives. This harmless phenomenon has been recently targeted as being “racist” and a “hate group” yet the whole meaning of the name and purpose is to remind everyone that black lives matter too. For example, the Baltimore riots that occurred in the spring of 2015, were only trying to push the importance of Black lives not completely destroy their city and rebel. The significance of this is crucial in this day and age due to the injustices of the court and police system, we’re only trying to reiterate something that should be given to all people at birth.…

    On October thirteenth Jasmine Rand was a guest speaker, along with four Mount Pleasant Police and Central Michigan University campus officers in Plachta Auditorium. Students were given the opportunity to write questions that Rand and the officers would be asked, however, I didn’t participate due to the high volume of questions that had already been obtained. Because Rand was Michael Brown and Trayvon Martins attorney in their civil rights case this presentation was expected to be about these cases that lead to the “Black Lives Matter” movement, race issues, and police brutality which have greatly affected both African American culture and views of police culture. Although, these expectations were exceeded by touching on Rand 's educational…

    Racial inequality has been a reality in the United States for its entire history and presently continues to be a force that creates division among Americans. Many Americans believed that racism ended with the Civil Rights era in the 1960s, during which figures like Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X led the movement for equality. However, it was not until 2014, with the death of Michael Brown, an 18-year-old black man at the hands of a white police officer, in Ferguson, Missouri, that racism beyond the Civil Rights era has once again come to prominence. With racism resurfacing, the current circumstances following the shooting of Michael Brown has initiated a movement for social justice for black people in the form of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) social movement, founded by Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi. BLM started with the aim of increasing recognition in regards to social inequality and police brutality against black people.…
