Dear Breonna Taylor,
First of all I am so disgusted and so sorry for what happened to you. You were such a beautiful woman and had so much ahead of you. Things have not been going good down here (as you read this from heaven). You have still not the justice you deserve, and it seems like no one (the police especially) cares at all. Of course us black folk are going to keep fighting for you and your justice, but it's going to be very hard. I know that your family and so many more other people miss you, especially your son. He will be safe and protected as he has to go on and live his life without you. You did not deserve this at all, but you are in a better place . I hope that you are having fun up there with God, but we will keep speaking up and speaking out for you. We will not give up this fight.
Watch over us and give us good spirits, this I pray.

Dear Breonna,
I'm sorry for what happened to you. From deep in heart, it saddens, and yet sickens me that such cruel people couldn't seen the value in your life. Couldn't see all that you had going for yourself. Couldn't see your future. But it's its right that they can see theirs? Down here, we're still fighting for you. We will bring to you and your family what you all deserve. Justice.

# data[].attributes.body
Dear Breonna Taylor and the many other black lives lost,

I just want you guys to know we are sorry that the justice system failed you all yet again but we will not stop fighting until justice is served for each and everyone.

To black poli science, law students etc, This is the time to keep fighting, it hurts to see what is happening right now but this should give everyone the strength to keep pushing so we can get everyone of the racist people out and fix the justice system.

# data[].attributes.body
I would want to tell Breonna that i'm sorry that she didn't get justice, just how them officers were bold enough to pull out there gun and MURDER a innocent black women life they should be bold enough to sit in a jail cell ! This is NOT fair at all ! now if Breonna was a white female ohhh they would of did everything with their WHITE PRIVILEGE to get justice because they know what they did was BEYOND wrong! they lucky our people just want equality because if we wanted revenge that would not be so good for them white privilege, white racist, ect people, But hey don't take my word for it cause we just getting started ! They just better remember NO JUSTICE NO PEACE!

# data[].attributes.body
Dear Breonna Taylor,
I'm sorry its taking so long for you to get the justice you deserve. We are down here protesting and demanding that you get your justice and we're not finished. We stand with you. You'll never be forgotten and we'll never stop saying your name. No justice no peace.

# data[].attributes.body
I wish that after these 194 days justice would've fully been served, instead we are still fighting and protesting to get the right results. It makes me feel sad and angers me that not everything has been done. None if this is fair and we will have to continue to say her name until there is justice.

# data[].attributes.body
Dear Breonna,
Im so sorry that you havent gotten the justice you derserve. The system hates black woman so much that they can justify you being killed in your sleep. You were an essential worker and had a lot to live for. I hope that your family knows we will not give up until you get justice

# data[].attributes.body
I want her to know that the justice she deserves will be met no matter how long it takes.

# data[].attributes.body
Dear Breonna Taylor,
It is September 24, 2020 which means it has been 195 days without you getting the justice you need and deserve. Our blm and black community is out here fighting for you. We will not let your name go unheard. We are trying to get a trial with the civil court or the supreme court, because we believe that the way you were killed was unjustly. You were a beautiful and smart young woman with a whole life ahead of you and in an instant your life and future was taken. I hope that you're in Heaven smiling at how hard we are pushing for your life to matter to the people who took it. I hope that we are able to get these officers prosecuted for what they did.
Love,
Angel

Without these stories and experiences wee might never know how our ancestors struggled, and we owe it to. them. to remember them and honor them because of how much the've gone through.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is important because that person experienced it first. They actually spent that time getting beat and tortured . So you get that authenticity of what the slaves went through.

# data[].attributes.body
It is important to hear/ read the experiences of slavery from actually enslaved people, because American history is very White washed and they make it seem like white people were heros. So to hear experiences from actual slaves would make us understand how cruel and horrible they really were.

# data[].attributes.body
Hearing/reading first hand experiences gives us unique view on what really happened during their time. Rather than hearing it from someone who has just researched it, we can hear from someone who has lived through it and has an emotional connection to the event/s. It gives a deeper and more emotional connection to the traumatic experiences.

# data[].attributes.body
It is important because we need to dive deeper into it and get a complete full understanding. We may know about the topic but we don't know and understand everything we fully can and those experiences can help us understand even more.

# data[].attributes.body
I think its important to hear these experiences because its important to know where your ancestors came from and to know and live in the world they fought so hard for and why they fought so hard it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it's important because stories tend to sometimes get switched up so it is always important to listen to someone first hand, or  someone who actually been in that experience.

# data[].attributes.body
If we did not read and or learn about first hand accounts we wouldn't be able to really see how bad it was. Not even be able to understand it because in my opinion there is no one in this world today can really understand how bad slavery was unless they personally went through. So us reading about it just educates us and hopefully me and others are able to do stuff in our power to prevent that from ever happening again.

# data[].attributes.body
these stories allow us to be more appreciative with life and to see how life was different for our ancestors back then. it also allows us to connect with them

# data[].attributes.body
I think it’s important because without us knowing, we might never actually understand what they went through and the pain they went through. I also think it’s important because we’re in a rough time right now and people keep telling us it was the past and we didn’t experience it so why should we care or still worry about it, but we know it was still our family that went through it and knowing what they went through gives us more reasons why we should keep fighting for them and not give up

# data[].attributes.body
Learning about the struggles and situations slaves endured and went through is very important to learn and hear about because it helps us feel more connected and allows us to better understand what really happened. Even though that slaves were abused and faced some very traumatic events, it is good for us to learn about these things and hear it first hand so we can also be more educated about the subject and truly know the struggles of black people. First hand experiences also allow us to have an inside look of the situation. Even though we were not there or went through what the victim felt, to hear and learn about these past experience really opens our minds and our hearts as well because it is sad to know that it happened but this is also what black people went through in order for us to be free today.

# data[].attributes.body
So we can understand to background from someone who lived though it instead of someone else point of view who might change the story.

# data[].attributes.body
So that the white man cant try to shift what really happened or try to downplay it.

# data[].attributes.body
so we can actually know whats really happen and not have the stories twisted

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like in my approach I would start off with the Frederick Douglass approach in the most civil manner but as time passes and I feel as though no actions are being taken then I will have to move on to the Garrison approach and start fighting back. The Abolition movement definitely made a mark on slavery and definitely helped give us our rights back. However I do feel like them telling us we can just go back, and making it seem as if we are a burden isn't right. My ancestors didn't ask to come here and work for the white man, they owe us some money and some land.

# data[].attributes.body
The abolitionist's goal was to shed light on slavery to show others that It is wrong and to soon then abolish it.I would have approached it with Douglas's method first to see if they will hear us out. or if they even want to, but if that doesn't work then we can resort to violence.

# data[].attributes.body
Abolitionists movement ended slavery by freeing many slaves . The abolitionist approach i would have taken was the Fredrick Douglas approach.

# data[].attributes.body
The Abolitionist Movement made it their goal to eradicate slavery. They fought to charge laws and protested to end slave ownership. I would have been the type to send letters to the people in charge but to also protest for the cause.

# data[].attributes.body
The abolitionists are the ones that got the first hand and hands on experiences with ending slavery. Each one did their own part to end it, some did protests, some fought for change laws, some actually helped the slaves physically escape. If i was an abolitionist i feel like i would try to talk to the lawmakers to get them changed

# data[].attributes.body
The abolitionist movement help end slavery by having a goal in mind and people were able to speak up and change others mind about slavery. My approach would be to try and take it to politicians but if that doesn't work then I would have to fight with the others for my freedom.

# data[].attributes.body
fought for many years

# data[].attributes.body
So that we can try to understand what really happened back then.

# data[].attributes.body
The abolitionist movement had a very clear goal in mind which was to end slavery. The approach that i would have taken would've been the frederick douglass where i try to speak facts and sense into slave owners and try to get new laws and rules but, if they didn't listen i would begin to take the garrison approach and fight for freedom.

# data[].attributes.body
The abolishment movement help end slavery because they used their voice and stood up to what was right. Also Frederick Dogulas was one of the people who wanted to end slavery and his mindset was set right so I've honestly would of taken his approach.

# data[].attributes.body
It helped slavery end faster and made some white that didn't care about it realize that slavery was bad. I would have taken a hard hitting approach where I would push heavily/do what ever it took for the abolishment of slavery and manipulate to get things done.

# data[].attributes.body
It helped end slavery by pushing and fighting for all slaves to be free. i feel like i would've went with Harriet Tubman and Fredrick Douglass.

# data[].attributes.body
In the time of the Abolitionist Movement I would use Frederick Douglas's approach, by talking with the government and political leaders. Everyone has their own opinions and believes, and most times, we form those beliefs and opinions based off of the government. Those people who support certain political leaders will make their opinion off of that person's thoughts and ideas. Once that leader can start to convince people, those supporters will support that leader even more. Once we can get the government to accept change, the people will too. I also would use Highland Garnet's approach, by having the slaves stand up for themselves and proclaim themselves free. But I would take this approach AFTER making change and convincing the government. I feel as if that will be the moment slaves will feel powerful and understand that they are really free.

# data[].attributes.body
I would began with the Fredrick Douglass approach and wait to see if any progress was made. If there was a good amount of progress I would stick with this approach. However if there was no change I would convert to the guy who wrote about it in his newspaper and exposed slavery for what it really was. I think that’s a very good way to use your platform for a good use.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like I would have taken Fredrick Douglas approach and do my best to stick with it , but depending on how much violence was endured I would switch to Garrison’s approach

# data[].attributes.body
The approach i would take would be a mixture between Frederick Douglass and Highland Garnett. I would take the peaceful approach first, trying to  explain to judges why slavery is wrong and if that doesn't work i would then fight back. The Abolitionist Movement help end slavery as it convinced many southern states to end slavery.

# data[].attributes.body
it helped end slavery because that was their priority it was their goal to end it. The approach i would of taken would be both Frederick Douglass and Highland Garnett. First i would speak up about the problem let people know what needs to be changed then i would fight and make sure things would change

# data[].attributes.body
I think the confederate statues should definitely be removed. Even though there is history behind them, the statues are symbols of the racist past and present racism of the country. No matter how we should keep and preserve past artifacts for history the statues shouldn't be one of them as it will always represent white supremacy and the purpose of the statues and the flags were to show that black people were inferior to white people. If the statues and flags are still up it will continue to further the white supremacy narrative and not change the racist culture of America.

# data[].attributes.body
I found it interesting how in the article a Republican State Senator said how taking down the statues would be erasing white history. It’s almost sad how, at least the her view, white people have no other history and background other than genocide and racism. She claims it is going against the first amendment but why would she want something that has such a hateful background and message to stay up any longer? I’m sure the state she is a senator for has lots of black people, but they’re supposed to trust her to work in their favor for them let alone the whole state?

# data[].attributes.body
That the statues are basically land marks for white supremacy , deep seeded racism and racial injustice/inequality.They need to be removed.

# data[].attributes.body
Confederate statues and flags should continue to be removed because they represent racism and are rooted in white supremacy.

# data[].attributes.body
im actually glad the confederate flag and statues are getting taken down. they represent so much racism and white people like that flag or statue just because it represents how white's used to have control over African Americans

# data[].attributes.body
Personally I feel asthough the confederate statues and flags should have been removed and the flags shouldn't have been sold. Its crazy that the south has tried to cover it and make it seem like the civil war was for states rights when in reality they were just fighting for the preservation of slavery. I also think its crazy that in 2017 there was a huge protest that left many injured and one killed but no one was called a thug or shot or injured by police.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, I think that the confederate flag and statues should/needed to be taken down or removed. I think that black people's voices deserve to be heard. With the statues being removed, I think that is possibly one step closer to justice and equality. Now yes, those statues may hold importance to some and have a background of history, but those statues mostly represent the past and white people were in power and higher than black people. Now in 2020, things are not the same anymore. We now know our rights and we are starting to speak up and speak about things that may anger us,  especially relating to inequality and justice. I am glad that the statue was removed, because we are finally showing that we have had enough and we seek change immediately.

# data[].attributes.body
i think that many southerners confuse southern culture for straight up racism. the statues were literally built for white surpremacy and they went to fight for the right to keep slaves but they look at it as fighting to keep their slaves, slavery was their culture

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that they should take the statues done. The reason why is that times have changed and the slaves have fought their way through many obstacles to get where we are today and to have the opportunities we have today .

# data[].attributes.body
Confederate statues and flags should be removed and the fact that it's an argument shows how disrespected black people are because the answer would be a hard no if there was a proposal for a hitler statue to be built. The confederate flag is a representation of white supremacy and was used to keep black people under. A lot of people like to make it seem like it's a flag to represent the south when in reality it's a sign of racism.

# data[].attributes.body
Its important to read/hear for yourself is because the only way you can really find out the truth about what happened back then to your fellow ancestors is if u take it in your own ways to study about them.

As a African American women I would find it beneficial to move to the north west because there was more job opportunities and I know that my children may have a slightly better/ safer life there rather than the south. My significant other may also have a better opportunity to provide for the family. It is slightly iffy though because I know either way my family and I will have to face discrimination and race wars. However the south plays real dirty and their hate for us runs deeper and stronger than the north.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, many African Americans were better off in terms of education, income and housing etc then the ones who remained in the south. Even though they had benefits they still experienced racism in those areas, for example being denied jobs or white counterparts attacking blacks for 'stealing their jobs.' Moving to the north wasn't as beneficial to African Americans as many people wanted it to be but it was still better than remaining in the south.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, they were given better opportunities in the north and west as compared to the south so they could live a better life which is why it was a good thing to move

# data[].attributes.body
As an African American, moving to the North was extremely beneficial for me. In the North we have more opportunities for jobs with better pay. There are more black people just like me, so building a community is easier. While racial discrimination is still prevalent, it is no where as bad as it was in the South. Here, we’re move open to be ourselves and continue a decent life.

# data[].attributes.headline

Serenity.P- I Feel during this time period I would feel it would have been very beneficial to move to the north. However I just feel I would have had to mentally and emotionally prepare for what I had to endure as making that trip.
