The students at University of Missouri set up an encampment on the campus quad. This encampment is considered their safe space from the racism that’s been occurring for quite a while on campus. Also these activists have been keeping their safe space journalist free due to “the insensitivity they encounter in the news media,” which you had stated that many can all agree on.
There is a video of a news photographer who got into a conflict with some of the activist which caused a dispute that reached off campus. There were complaints about how the media was refused access to a space that was public. The news photographer Tim Tae did have legal rights to be there since it was a public space, but he failed to understand that this was a big issue.

    Chaplinsky Case Summary

    The first amendment allows American people freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and most relevant to this case - the right to protest.

    Black Lives Matter: Social Movement

    Black Lives Matter is a movement that campaigns against institutional racism and brutality toward black people. It stands apart from previous movements advocating for equal treatment of the black community because it includes and even highlights the fringe groups like LGBT people, women, and the disabled. This type of intersectionality underscores the commitment the movement has to advocating on the behalf of all black people. This social movement is unique in another way as well because it uses social media as its main way of creating awareness, organizing, and promoting social change.
