The Article that I read was called “What Black Lives Matter Is Really All About” by Rahel Gebreyes. In this article I read about how the shootings and/or deaths caused by police for the past years has been a huge problem, but many people are trying to bring everything together. That’s why we have the Black Lives Matter Movement.

In the reading Rahel refers back to a video based on why black lives matter. Everybody that was in the video was/is apart of this important movement. A lady named Lilly Workneh stated “Black Lives Matter is about peace. It’s about bringing people together. It’s about fighting for justice. It’s about solidarity and it’s about unity”. 

Most people that have protested about how black lives matter want a peaceful protest and they always talk about how they want everybody to come together and try to fight against more shootings or deaths to happen. Always somehow more outrageous things happen and most people start to feel like we are getting nowhere and they want to start solving violence with violence. That should never be the case.

The hashtag “black lives matter” was created after a man named George Zimmerman was found not guilty for killing 17 year old Trayvon Martin.
