Reasons why Cullors: became an activist?
I believe that Patrisse Cullors became an activist involuntarily; as she grew into an adult she experienced and witnessed unfair treatment within her loved one’s and others specifically people of color. Firstly, educating herself of past historical events and voluntarily educating her peers in elementary. She then repeatedly notices how unfair treatment continues through the justice system with her biological father, who was put behind bars, after serving his sentence many times; along with her brother, Monte, which struggled with a mental disorder and wasn’t treated accordingly until years later, also learning how other people of color can be killed and receive no justice and so on. She wanted change; not only for her and her family but for all who struggles because of the skin color they were born with.

BLM is a movement that helps the injustice of the government and police systems become more real to a wider audience. It helps put in to perspective just how little things have changed within our nation.

The BLM movement was created to help generations of oppressed black lives but is not limited to all people of color. The movement was made to showcase how white supremecy is still very real even in todays day and age.

Patrisse Cullors became an activist because she had to witness so much racism throughout her life especially when it came to her brother. Not only did she experience this but I believe it was also her time in a white school that really helped put her situation into perspective and with this she could not stay quiet.

BLM was created for the desire for equality potentially towards people of color along with fair sentencing when unlawful acts happen. There’s many who have a misconception when it comes to BLM; there’s some who think that BLM represents that the people of color lives only matter, there’s some who has a perception that because of how the system works and tends to degrade people of color that only white lives matter, however, the entire purpose of the movement is to show that ALL lives matter.

An organization that advocates for minorities that are racially discriminated and struggle with the systemic racism our country that clearly allows it. Also an organization to fight the system because people of color are victims of police or government brutality.
An anti-racist movement in the United States.

Define Black Lives Matter; in my opinion it is color skin and hatred, treated not equal and civil rights. Also people protest to get their rights.

Reasons BLM was Created; George Floyd was the one that began Black Lives Matter he was killed by a white police man. So now a days BLM is important to most people.

Reasons why Cullors became an activist; from my perspective Cullors became an activist by her childhood and what she went through. She spreads her positivity about racism and talks about her childhood of getting arrested. She sees her brother got arrested for no reason and lack of food.

Define Black Lives Matter:
1.)Black Lives Matter is a movement that people will be fighting for a long time. The Black Lives Matter movement is a way of trying to get people to see and recognize that people are people and that everyone should be treated with Equity.
2.)In a few words to try to explain the Black Lives Matter Movement is the fight to have Equity regardless of skin color Because skin color doesn't define a person.
3.) Cullors became an activist to try and make a change and the realization that she had the power to make a change she took it and in hope to make a change and to try have a good impact on people who don't have a great mind set.

Black Lives Matter is a political activist group. This specific group really took off in 2020. BLM was always a group of people you could say but when the death of George Floyd happened, that was the icing on the cake. BLM was created in response to all the racist acts and the police brutality increasing through the years. Cullors became an activist because she witnessed a lot of police brutality growing up and she was also scared for her disabled brother. Growing up black in not only America is challenging but other places as well.

Define BLM - BLM was a movement created to bring awareness not only to police violence against black people but also the material conditions black people face due to systemic racism. It is meant to encourage the disenfranchised black communities that feel their lives do not matter in the face of the American justice system and to humanize them in the eyes of the ignorant.

Reasons BLM was created - BLM was created to combat police violence and systemic racism as well as being awareness to underlying issues often overlooked by most educational outlets such as economic disparity and housing discrimination.

Reasons why Patrice Cullors became an activist: Patrice Cullors became an activist after watching how young black men including her brother were often the victim of stop and frisk searches by police even when they were doing nothing suspicious.
