During the slavery, the slaves had many many struggles, one struggle I found was in the book Fort Mose. "They would have been forced to march for days, weeks, or longer in the blistering sun. if captives got tiered or had an itch, they were not allowed to stop and rest or scratch." This significantly shows how they were forced to do things they didn't want to, they couldn't stop walking to rest or to do anything at all, they were forced to keep walking witch was a struggle for them.

In the book The Rock And The River by Kekla Magoon, Magoon has shown throughout the book how African Americans struggled during the Civil Rights Movement. She has shown this by creating a situation that explained how racist people were toward the African Americans. In the book Stick, the main character's brother, was shot in the car for without any reason. Magoon wrote, "He was just a few yards away. I could see the blood running out of him, spilling over his hands and onto the car seat. He leaned against the headrest and closed his eyes...The cop grabbed the back of my head and shoved my face into the pavement. That was real" (Magoon, pg. 245, 246). This quote shows that after shooting Stick, they became aggressive toward Sam, who was trying to help Stick. The cops had discovered guns that were in the car and assumed the African Americans in the car were going to do something bad. Nevertheless, instead of cuffing them right away, they killed Stick and "shoved" Sam's face into the pavement. Magoon also wrote, "'Gun!' the cop at the window shouted. He fired two rounds." (Magoon, pg. 244). This quote shows that

The Realistic fiction book Copper Sun by Sharon Draper, showed many struggles that the characters faced. One of them being when Amari (the main character) was taken from her village and watched her family as they were shot, and killed. After she witnessed that they forced them to walk for days with little to no food.  "Her tongue felt thick-she was so thirsty, and she couldn't remember the last time she had eaten. As she walked, she tried but couldn't comprehend the incredible cruelty of the men who had done this." (Draper, 18) This shows the struggle Amari was faced with, not being able to eat or drink for days and not even being able to remember the last time she had.

In the book Copper Sun some ways Amari resisted slavery was when she ran away from the Derby's, " Amari, Polly, and Tidbit moved slowly but steadily through the woods, as if they knew where they going. Although the road had been brightly lit with the sunshine of the morning, the woods were shadowy and dim under the thick canopy of trees. Amari, somehow feeling very much at home among this greenery, led them deeper and deeper

Values
In the book Rock in the river by Kekla Magoon  they valued family  family and friends because that is who the activists would relie on to give them support or advise. The African Americans valued money when they got some because that is the way that the African Americans lived. One more the African Americans really valued was the speeches because that was the way the word got out  and that was there way of telling them what they think.

The slaves had many values too, although they valued most everything because it was rarely when they were giving anything. One value they had were food. "Two times a day at the wooden trough that's how we eat." (Paulsen, 29) Another time they valued food was in the Article Slave Trade: the African Connection, ca 1788. "Their allowance of food is so scanty, that it is barely sufficient to support nature." These both show that they valued food because they weren't ever really feed, and when they did get food they really valued it.

In the black lifes matter movement the African Americans are trying to get equal rights. The struggle for the Black Lifes Matter movement is that White people are not listening to the African Americans are not being heard. One example is on the front picture of the article called Time America 2015 the White people are chasing the African American boy or Man down the street and had weapons out trying to harm him. While there doing this it is 30 against 1 and there is no way the person can defend himself and I think that is maybe hard for him.    Joy Ruggles

The Black Lives matter movement group is an ally to all African Americans facing discrimination in the United States. African Americans at a Montpellier High School were facing education inequality. Noticing this situation, some people decided to start their own Black Lives Matter group in the Montpellier area, in order to get equal education. Although African Americans have more rights since slavery ended, some African Americans still feel un-equal to the whites in the United States. In fact, the Black Lives Matter group that formed because of inequality at a Montpellier High School, have been becoming allies to the other African Americans at the school. They have been being allies by raising a Black Lives Matter flag, bringing attention to the matter. Also, by talking to the Vermont government about this situation.
