Black Lives Matters Case Study

With it being such a touchy subject, to the point that has brought numerous spouses, moms and families to demand justice for the killings of their husbands, children and fathers, the Black Lives Matters Movement has no doubt brought on social change. The movement stems from killings of black people by police and vigilantes throughout the United States, a country that is meant to stand for Justice for All but instead stands for justice for most or a select group of individuals. Innocent lives have been lost in the past few years at disturbing rates, practically relentless by any organized association or element. Thus, many stand hand in hand to rally for ALL Black lives striving for liberation which motivate laws get passed and a change of patterns among the very system that should be for the race. The case study written by Thomas A. Bryer
These demonstrations, as with all Black Lives Matter protests, were quite stimulating to draw attention to issues that were constantly ignored by most majority communities. Politicians have also been publicly challenged for the candidates of the upcoming election to state their positions on Black Lives Matter issues and how their policies will lead to the improvement of black communities. Although still a work in progress, the Black Lives Matter Movement has been successful in creating a new instrument for addressing racial inequality in twenty-first century America in a non-violent manner.
