Although Black Lives Matter is a promoter of all those committed and those who aspire to be leaders this is a limitation because the literature shows us the characteristics of what a good leader possesses (notes on leader).

By saying that Black Lives Matter does not mean that this movement hates other races. When white people who continue to not understand the impact of what it is to live as an African-American while not taking that into value, they are saying that in order for white lives to matter, black lives cannot. That has the same ideology as white supremacy. The Black Lives Matter movement needs people to care about the value of a black life and understand how white lives hold more

    Some groups connect straightforwardly to only a couple key leaders or constituencies, while others act all the more by implication by broadcasting their message to as wide a group of people as could be expected under the circumstances. Gamson and Wolfsfeld (1993) proposed that social movements depend on the media for three fundamental functions, (1) assembly of political bolster, (2) legitimisation (or acceptance) in the mainstream discourse, and (3) to widen the extent of contentions. Consequently, the quality and nature of the media scope that social movements acquire unequivocally impacts how they are seen in public – to the degree that great or terrible coverage can make or break a social movement (p.114). In relation to the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, it can be argued that mainstream media outlets have had both a positive and negative effect on the national organisations growth and aim to rebuild the Black Liberation Movement.

  • What Role Does Violence Play In The Rise Of The Black Lives Matter Movement?

    168 Words  | 1 Pages

    The sources answer the question of what role does the history of violence against black people (slavery, lynching, segregation, etc.) play in the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement. The sources show that the violence against African American people in the 1800’s is stemmed from the same place as the unsolicited violence against black people today. It comes from the idea that as black people continue to try and make a new place for themselves, white people, specifically cops in this case, continue try to keep African Americans in their place of being seen as a lesser race. It is the history of lynching and of segregation that are coming back into play today, as people who have done nothing wrong are getting killed simply because of their

  • The Influence Of The Selma March: The Black Lives Matter Movement

    311 Words  | 2 Pages

    There have been many movements in the United States in which African Americans have been the focal point for example the Selma March, the March on Washington, the civil rights movement, and even today the Black Lives Matter movement. Those movements have had a significant impact on the United States and still play a part in today’s society. Those movements still play a part in today’s society because without those movements there wouldn’t be a Black Lives Matter because African Americans wouldn’t have the courage to stand up a fight for their rights if it wasn’t for Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Rosa Parks, or the many other activists that stood up for African-American rights. Selma and the March on Washington share a big relationship to the Black Lives Matter and they are just as important to the civil rights movement.
