In the last article that I used is a book review by Stephen Browne I found the text to be essential to my work.

There has been several circulations of abuse towards the Africa American society by the police system. I assert that public memory can be used to understand the body of beliefs and ideas about the past and help the public to understand both its past, present, and future. These tools can help society communicate individual needs and aspirations. Public memory communicates mainly about the structure of power in society. This is needed to win this war of hate so that we can understand how power works and utilize it rhetorically to furnish a movement that has never been seen. A utopian paradise were we can all live in peace and harmony amongst our neighbors. The fact is that this racial war
