    This is a picture of a serious incident that resulted in the death of George Floyd. He told the police officer that he couldn’t breathe but the officer continued to keep his knee on his neck (Frazier, 2020), and we chose this picture because it shows the brutality of police towards black people and how unfair is the treatment of the many officers with them.

    This is a picture of activists demanding justice while marching at Clock Grand Central Terminal on the fifth anniversary of Mike Brown’s death by Ferguson Police officer Darren Wilson (Illing, 2020).  Thus, we chose this picture because it shows that people are taking these racism incidents seriously and are fighting to change this hard reality.

    This mural was made in memory of George Floyd who was murdered by a police officer in Minneapolis. We chose this image because it shows an important attitude that helped to  raise the movement of Black Lives Matter in Gaza city, bringing the attention of many people to that incident.

History

Image
     ( Black Lives Matter )         In reaction to the widespread shooting of unarmed African Americans, the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement has emerged (Clayton, 2018). This movement has been active since the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter appeared in 2013, calling for respect for the humanity and worth of African Americans to be included in international policy discussions. A worldwide response has been heard to BLM's appeal to end the killing and devaluation of Black people and to recognize their inherent value. As students and supporters of fundamental human rights, we chose this topic because we think it is our civic duty to teach others about the movement's founding ideas and history.     References Clayton, D.
