Black Lives Matter (BLM), is an international social movement, formed in the United States in 2013, dedicated to fighting racism and anti-Black violence, especially in the form of police brutality.

The names most associated with Black Lives Matterare not its leadersbut the victimswho have drawn attentionto the massive issuesof racism this country grapples with:George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Eric Garner, Michael Brown, to name a few.

The name Black Lives Matter signals condemnation of the unjust killings of Black people by police (Black people are far more likely to be killed by police in the United States than white people) and the demand that society value the lives and humanity of Black people as much as it values the lives and humanity of white people.

BLM activists have held large and influential protests in cities across the United States as well as internationally. Black Lives Matter is also decentralized by activists in local chapters who organize their own campaigns and programs. The chapters are affiliated with the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, a nonprofit civil rights organization that is active in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

BLM was cofounded as an online movement (using the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter on social media) by three Black community organizers-Patrisse Khan-Cullors, Alicia Garza, and Opal Tometi. They formed BLM after George Zimmerman, a man of German and Peruvian descent, was acquitted on charges stemming from his fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed Black teenager, in Sanford, Florida,in February 2012.

Zimmerman, a neighbourhood-watch volunteer, had seen Martin walking in his neighbourhood and called the police because he thought Martin looked "suspicious."Although police told Zimmerman not to do anything,he followed Martin, got into an argument with him,and shot and killed him.

Zimmerman remained free for weeks after the shooting but was finally charged with second-degree murder and arrested in April, after demonstrations demanding his prosecution were held in cities across the United States. At his trial more than a year later, Zimmerman claimed that he had acted in self- defense. His acquittal in July 2013 was widely perceived as amiscarriage of justice and led to further nationwide protests.

The BLM movement expanded in 2014 after the police killings of two unarmed Black men,Eric Garner and Michael Brown. Garner died in Staten Island, New York, after a white police officer held him in a prolonged illegal choke hold, which was captured in a video taken by a bystander.Brown, a teenager, was shot and killed by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri.

Large protests of these deaths in the name of Black Lives Matter captured national and international attention. The BLM movement thereafter continued to play a prominent role in demonstrations against police brutality and racism. Notably, BLM activists protested the deaths at the hands of police or while in police custody of several other Black people.

In 2016 major American sports stars lend their voices to the cause of Black Lives Matter. In July, basketball players including LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony opened an awards ceremony by speaking about recent deaths of Black people, saying: "Enough is enough."

Then, from August, many sports stars began taking part in protests during national anthems at sports games, beginning with Colin Kaepernick, who knelt during the anthem ahead of an NFL game.

In 2020 George Floyd, an unarmed Black man, was pronounced dead after a white Minneapolis police officer knelt on Floyd's neck for several minutes, despite Floyd's repeated protests that he could not breathe. Wide circulation of a bystander's video of Floyd's last minutes triggered massive demonstrations in cities throughout the United States and across the globe.

The tragedy swayed U.S. public opinion in favour of the Black Lives Matter movement while drawing wide attention to the problem ofrooted racism in American society.

NFL Players & Black Lives Matter

The Black Lives Matter movement has many goals. BLM activists seek to draw attention to the many ways in which Black people are treated unfairly in society and the ways in which institutions, laws, and policies help to perpetuate that unfairness. The movement has fought racism through such means as political action, letter writing campaigns, and nonviolent protests.

BLM seeks to combat police brutality, the over-policing of minority neighbourhoods,and the abuses committedin jails. Its efforts have included calls for better training for police and greater accountability for police misconduct. BLM activists have also called for "defunding" the police-that is, reducing police department budgets and investing the freed-up funds in community social services.

EBONY AND IVORY

Paul McCartney&Stevie Wonder

"Ebony and Ivory"is a songthat was released in 1982as a single by Paul McCartneyfeaturing Stevie Wonder.

Written by McCartney, the song aligns the black and white keys of a piano keyboard with the theme of racial harmony.

+INFO

The single reached number one on both the UK and the US charts and was among the top-selling singles of 1982 in the US. During the apartheid era, the South African Broadcasting Corporation banned the song after Wonder dedicated his 1984 Academy Award for Best Original Songto Nelson Mandela.

The official reason for the ban was because Wonder accepted his 1984 Academy Award for Best Original Song "in the name of Nelson Mandela".While a major commercial hit, the song has received derision from music critics who view its message as overly simplistic and sentimental.

The single marked the first time that McCartney had releaseda duet with another major artist, and anticipated his 1980s collaborations withMichael Jackson.

This is a song about racial harmony, using piano keysas a metaphor.The black keys on a piano are ebony, and the white ones are ivory.The song asks why we all can't lie together in perfect harmonylike the keys.

As already said, the song is about the ebony (black) and ivory (white) keyson a piano, but also deals withintegration and racial harmony.The title was inspired by McCartney hearing Spike Milligan say,"Black notes, white notes, and you need to play the two to make harmony, folks!"

+INFO

Terence Alan"Spike" Milligan(16 April 1918 - 27 February 2002) was a British-Irish actor, comedian, writer, musician, poet, and playwright.

This song tells that humans should live harmoniously regardlessof race and colour.Like Ebony and Ivory, which are complementary to each other, we humans are complement to one another. In order to live peacefully and harmoniously, we should accept everyone's differences.

The issues about life presented in this song

This song contains a deep message of unity and brotherhood.It calls the harmony between the people of different races, especially the blacks and the whites.The music is melodious and invites to sing and dance.

+INFO

This song was one of the first songs that mix pop and rhythm and blues, by the encounter of an influent pop artist and an influent rhythm and blues artist. We can see the influence of pop music with the synthesizer and the electric guitar, and the influence of blues with the drum.

We can hear in the song that when Wonder is singing it is more like a gospel style in his tone of voice, that it tends more in the rhythm and blues style. While when McCartney is singing, we can feel in his tone of voice the pop stresses. However, the originality of the mixing between pop and rhythm and blues give something new and agreeable to listen, and not failed. It is difficult sometimes to mix different styles of music, and this song is a great success of this mixing.At the end of the song, the rhythm and blues had been worked in a way that it match well with the pop style, which is something very interesting. It is a proof that we can do everything and anything with music!

START

Green Book is a 2018 American biographical comedy-drama buddy film directed by Peter Farrelly. Set in 1962, the film is inspired by the true story of a tour of the Deep South by African American classical and jazz pianist Don Shirley and Italian American bouncer Frank "Tony Lip" Vallelonga who served as Shirley's driver and bodyguard.

The buddy film, or ship film is a film genre in which two people-often both men-are put together and on an adventure, a quest, or a road trip. The two often contrast in personality, which creates a different dynamic onscreen than a pairing of two people of the opposite gender. The contrast is sometimes accentuated by an ethnic difference between the two. The buddy film is commonplace in American cinema

The film was written by Farrelly, Brian Hayes Currie and Vallelonga's son, Nick Vallelonga, based on interviews with his father and Shirley, as well as letters his father wrote to his mother.The film is named after The Negro Motorist Green Book, a mid-20th century guidebook for African-American travelers written by Victor Hugo Green.

PLOT (1)

In 1962 New York City, bouncer Tony Lip searches for new employment while the Copacabana is closed for renovations. He is invited to an interview with Dr. Don Shirley, a black pianist in need of a driver for his eight-week concert tour through the Midwest and Deep South. Don hires Tony on the strength of his references. They embark with plans to return to New York City on Christmas Eve. Don's record label gives Tony a copy of the Green Book, a guide for African-American travelers to find motels, restaurants, and filling stations that would serve them.

PLOT (2)

They begin the tour in the Midwest before eventually heading farther south. Tony and Don initially clash as Tony feels uncomfortable being asked to act with more refinement, while Don is disgusted by Tony's habits. As the tour progresses, Tony is impressed with Don's talent on the piano and is increasingly appalled by the discriminatory treatment which Don receives from his hosts and the general public when he is not on stage. A group of white men beat Don and threaten his life in a bar and Tony rescues him. He instructs Don not to go out without him for the rest of the tour.

PLOT (3)

Throughout the journey, Don helps Tony write letters to his wife, which deeply move her. Tony encourages Don to get in touch with his own estranged brother, but Don is hesitant, observing that he has become isolated by his professional life and achievements. In the south, Don is found in a gay encounter with a white man at a pool, and Tony bribes the officers to prevent the musician's arrest. Later, the two are arrested after a police officer pulls them over late at night in a sundown town; Tony punches the officer after being insulted. While they are incarcerated, Don asks to call his lawyer and uses the opportunity to reach Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, who pressures the governor and subsequently the station officers to release them.

PLOT (4)

On the night of the final performance on tour in Birmingham, Alabama, Don is refused entry into the whites-only dining room of the country club where he has been hired to perform. Tony threatens the owner, and Don refuses to play since they refuse to serve him in the room with his audience. Tony and Don leave the venue and instead have dinner at a predominantly black blues club where Don joins the band on the piano, after playing Chopin's Étude in A minor. Tony and Don head back north to try to make it home by Christmas Eve. Tony invites Don to have dinner with his family, but he declines and returns to his own home. Sitting alone in his home, Don decides to go back to Tony's home, where he is warmly greeted by Tony's extended family. The end title cards show real-life photos of the characters and state that Don continued to tour, compose and record songs, while Tony went back to his work at Copacabana. It also states that Tony and Don remained friends until they died within months of each other, in 2013.

Malcolm X is a prominent African-American civil rights activist and Muslim minister who introduced black nationalism and racial pride during the 1950s and 60s.

Malcolm X (May 19, 1925 - February 21, 1965) was an African American nationalist and civil rights activist. Before he became Malcolm X, his name was Malcolm Stuart Little. Malcolm X's father was a Baptist minister whose skin was very dark and his mother's skin was much lighter. His parents taught him to be proud of being black in an openly anti-black society.

Malcolm X was born on May 19, 1925, in Omaha, Nebraska. He was fourth of the eight children of Louise and Earl Little. His father was an avid supporter and member of the Universal Negro Improvement Movement. He supported Marcus Garvey, a known black nationalist leader. Malcolm X's family experienced number of harassments from the Ku Klux Klan and other factions such as the Black Legion due to Earl's civil rights activism.

In 1931, Malcolm's father was found dead in the street across the municipal streetcar tracks. Six years later, his mother was admitted to a mental institution due to trauma and depression where she stayed for 26 years.

By 1938, Malcolm X was sent to the juvenile detention home in mason, Michigan. He stayed with a white couple who treated him well. Later on, he attended the Mason High School where he excelled both academically and socially.

At the age of 15, Malcolm dropped out of school after his encounter with his English teacher. Malcolm thought of himself of being a lawyer but the teacher told him to be realistic and consider carpentry instead.

He moved to Boston with his sister Ella. Malcolm worked at a ballroom. Later on, he became acquainted with drug seller in the underground streets of Boston. Malcolm X was arrested in 1946 for burglary. He was sentenced with 10 years imprisonment. Most of his time in prison was spent in reading books while his siblings joined the Nation of Islam.

In 1952, he converted to the Nation of Islam with the idea that black Americans should have their own state separate from white Americans for them to gain freedom, justice, and equality. He taught that all white people were bad.After his release from prison, Malcolm travelled to Detroit, Michigan. He met Elijah Muhammad, a leader of the Nation of Islam and supported him to expand the movements nationwide.

Info

Nation of Islam -A religious movement founded in Detroit, Michigan, by W.D. Fard in the 1930s, the Nation of Islam advocates self-reliance and empowerment of the African American community. It shares important principles with the Islamic religion, including the Five Pillars of Islam (belief in one God, fasting for Ramadan, praying five times a day, charity, pilgrimage to Mecca); however, it is an independent religion with its own political objectives, theology, and understanding of history.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a contemporary of Malcolm during the early 1960s. Though King's Civil Right Movement was an alternative of Malcolm's radical philosophy.

Malcolm's militant proposal earned him numbers of followers and critics. The Nation of Islam grew to 40,000 members from 400 in 1952.

When the African-American Civil Rights Movement began to gain momentum in the 1960s, Malcolm was skeptical. He did not believe in the peaceful protests of Martin Luther King, Jr. Malcolm didn't want a nation where blacks and whites were integrated, he wanted a separate nation just for black people.

Info

In 1964, Malcolm left the Nation of Islam after the feeling of betrayal and misunderstanding.

Once he learned that theleaderof the Nation of Islam was in relationshipswith manywomen and hefound his extramarital affairs as against his own teachings while he did not like Malcolm X's comments regarding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. So Malcolm X left the group.

Malcolm may have left the Nation of Islam, but he was still a Muslim. He made a pilgrimage to Mecca where he had a change of heart over the beliefs of the Nation of Islam. Upon his return he began to work with other civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King, Jr. on ways to peacefully achieve equal rights.

Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1964

Malcolm had made many enemies within the Nation of Islam. Many leaders spoke out against him and said that he was "worthy of death." On February 14, 1965 his house was burned down. A few days later on February 15th as Malcolm began a speech in New York City, he was gunned down by three members of the Nation of Islam.

- Talking about his childhood, Malcolm once said "Our family was so poor that we would eat the hole out of a doughnut."- He also went by the name Malik el-Shabazz.- He married Betty Sanders (who became Betty X) in 1958 and they had six daughters together.- He became close friends with boxing champ Muhammad Ali who was also a member of the Nation of Islam.

PEOPLE WHO MADE A DIFFERENCERosa ParksMartin Luther King

Segregation in the USA

In 1865, at the end of the American Civil War, slavery was abolished but a rigid system of racial segregation soon started

White and black people couldn't go to the same schools, hospitals, restaurants, trains and buses.

WHITES COLOURED

Segregation laws didn't allow marriage between black and white people and black people were excluded from political life

ROSA PARKS(1913-2005)

She was a black woman who lived in Montgomery, Alabama.Rosa went to a school for black children and had to walk miles to get there, while white students had a school bus. She grew with constant discrimination and witnessed lots of violence against black people.

In those days buses had seats reserved to whites at the front and seats reserved to black people at the back.One day, in December 1955 the bus was empty but Rosa thought "NO MORE!" and she refused to give her seat to a white man.The bus driver stopped the bus and called the police.SHE WAS ARRESTED...

He was one of the leaders in the campaign agains racial discrimination.He was born in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1929.He studied theology and became the pastor of a black baptist church in Montgomery.

MARTIN LUTHER KING

When Rosa was arrested King organized a BOYCOTT of the buses in Alabama in support of the woman.For more than one year black people walked, cycled or used cars. The bus companies lost a lot of money.In 1956 segregation was declared ILLEGAL on buses.

During the boycott,many buses on the roadhad few passengers.(Photo taken in 1956 by Dan Weiner;copyright John Broderick)

"I HAVE A DREAM"

King believed in NON-VIOLENT protest and he organized many campaign against racial segregation. He was arrested lots of times but he continued to protest.In 1963, 250,000 people marched on Washington in a peaceful protest. King spoke to them about his dream of FREEDOM and EQUALITY for all Americans.

Here aresome songsaboutMLK

In August 1963, 22-year old folksinger Joan Baez, led a crowd of 300,000 in singing "We Shall Overcome" at the Lincoln Memorial during A. Philip Randolph's March on Washington.

"We Shall Overcome" is a gospel song which became a protest song and a key anthem of the American civil rights movement. The song is most commonly attributed as being lyrically descended from "I'll Overcome Some Day", a hymn by Charles Albert Tindley that was first published in 1901.

King won the NOBEL PRIZE FOR PEACE in 1965.Sadly he was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee, in April 1968

A famous song by the Irish pop group U2 was written to remember him, "Pride"

"...early morning April foura shot rings outin the Memphis sky..."

Rosa Parks became a symbol of the civil rights movement and in 1996 the American president Clinton awarded her with the MEDAL of FREEDOM.She died in 2005 at the age of 92. At her memorial there were about 50,000 people.

The civil rights icon becomes the first black woman to be honoured with a full-length statue in the US Capitol's Statuary Hall . IN 2013, President Barack Obama unveiled the statue, saying Mrs Parks had taken her rightful place among those who have shaped the course of US history.

Mrs Parks was honoured previously in Washington with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1996 and the Congressional Gold Medal in 1999, both during the Bill Clinton administration.
