Black people have continued to face systemic inequities in the education system, economic opportunities, and justice system. More talks on creating awareness and action to be taken should be done since up to date black people still face racism and discrimination in their daily lives. However as people are trying to come up with solutions to reduce the killings of the black people, the crimes that are being committed by the blacks should not be ignored. Crimes such as black to black violence should not be ignored. Moreover, once we can curb the police killing of the blacks, then we can be able to deal with the other problems that the community face on a large scale through good parenting and mentoring of children at a young age to grow morally upright. There is a genuine need to address such concerns. Blacks lives matter because just like everyone else, the black people were created free and equal and endowed with those inalienable rights protected by the law. Every black person is a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars they have a right to be here. As Dr. King rightly noted in his classic speech, “I have a dream’. When our republic’s founders penned the glorious words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they signed a promissory note that any American would be entitled to. This note was a declaration that the inherent rights of life, liberty , and the pursuit of happiness would be promised to all citizens. It is time for the promise to receive their due. The BLM movement discourse community would benefit from my research. The discourse most likely knows more about the subject than I do, I’m just adding on to the issues and why BLM movement is a thing. In several ways, the discourse group will benefit from my study, such as some of the ideas I have stated that counter the challenges it has. Online and broad social media sites such as Instagram , Twitter and Facebook will be the perfect way / genre / media to enter my friends. Speaking about this dilemma would open my eyes and I would be heard by the DC community sharing the BLM campaign. As I am sharing on the internet and social media we can also get many people to join the DC community with me.

Office Hours: 1 to 2 PM on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation through email each week. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If the above times don’t work for you, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance via email.
