Although, the monarchy of King Saran forcibly takes over her country through systematically murdering all divîners over the age of thirteen, including Zélie's mother. Thus, Zélie continuously faces oppression from her current rulers and continually endures retaliation from her own community.

their Bylaws - most of these Bylaws do not have comprehensive deescalation tactics mandated and laid out within their officers' protocol.  In early 2015, Mapping Police Violence was launched as an initiative. Through outlining these fundamental challenges, data has been used as an important part of creating solutions and holding stakeholders accountable. 99% of cases in 2015 have not resulted in any officer(s) involved being convicted of a crime. Additionally, if these officers were to receive sentences, they have statistically receive lesser sentences than civilians charged for similar crimes.]]> 2019-04-06 01:09:26 UTC https://padlet.com/roseck/ta84k5erjxor/wish/349106274 roseck https://padlet.com/roseck/ta84k5erjxor/wish/349106974 The #BlackLivesMatter Global Network Movement describes itself as: 
"...a chapter-based, member-led organization whose mission [is] to build local power and to intervene when violence [is] inflicted on Black communities by the state and vigilantes.
In the years since, [they've] committed to struggling together and to imagining and creating a world free of anti-Blackness, where every Black person has the social, economic, and political power to thrive."

This interview focuses specifically on the influence women have had in the #BlackLivesMatter movement. Nettie emphasizes that conversations around police brutality issues have centered mostly on incidents with black men or boys. She states that:
"...when [they] were under militarized police occupation, [Nettie] can say for sure it was way more women than men in those streets. So many black women put their bodies on the line for this cause, because [they] birthed the people that the police are killing."]]> 2019-04-06 01:34:15 UTC https://padlet.com/roseck/ta84k5erjxor/wish/349107849 roseck https://padlet.com/roseck/ta84k5erjxor/wish/349109068 Matt Kielty, a broadcaster for New York Public Radio, works with Ben Montgomery, reporter at the Tampa Bay Times, to flesh out stories retrieved from documents created between 2009 to 2014. These documents focused on when officers discharged their weapons in the line of duty in Florida. The result? A stack of reports, pictures, and press clippings cataloging the death or injury of 828 people by Florida police officers. Specific cases are discussed and interviews conducted with individuals who find themselves at the center of encounters with police officers gone horribly wrong.

His Spoken Word poem focuses on the systematic oppression found within the United States that continually stunts the development of prosperous lives for his black counterparts and black youth.

Videotapes of this atrocious, violent act immersed publicly as the cop stood over Clifford, in his blood, and viciously sneered: "Die you little motherfucker". Audre uses the title of her work to emphasize the "power" she has as an author and even goes on as far as to emphasize that she must differentiate poetry and rhetoric. ]]> 2019-04-06 02:17:17 UTC https://padlet.com/roseck/ta84k5erjxor/wish/349110949 roseck https://padlet.com/roseck/ta84k5erjxor/wish/349112076 49ers Quarterback, Colin Kaepernick, knelt instead of standing during a football game alongside teammate Eric Reid and a Seattle Seahawks player. As he received heavy "boos" with each time he stepped foot on the field, Kaepernick continues to emphasize the prevalent occurrence of police brutality and racism tolerated and perpetuated among law enforcement officials. ]]> 2019-04-06 02:33:37 UTC https://padlet.com/roseck/ta84k5erjxor/wish/349112076 roseck https://padlet.com/roseck/ta84k5erjxor/wish/349113715 Leaders of the #BlackLivesMatter Global Network emphasize the necessity for intersectionality to exist within their movement - representing queer, black individuals is one of those components.

Newton and Bobby Seal, founders of the Black Panther Movement, established a 10-Point Program that provided clear guidance for members of the Black Panther Party and informed the United States' general public. The 10-Point Program sorts itself into two categories: 
1. What members of the Black Panther Party "wanted now" 
2. What members of the Black Panther Party "believed". 
The #BlackLivesMatter Global Network movement mirrors and parallels similar objectives the Black Panther Party sought. ]]> 2019-04-06 03:13:16 UTC https://padlet.com/roseck/ta84k5erjxor/wish/349115042 roseck https://padlet.com/roseck/ta84k5erjxor/wish/349115805 2019-04-06 03:24:02 UTC https://padlet.com/roseck/ta84k5erjxor/wish/349115805 roseck https://padlet.com/roseck/ta84k5erjxor/wish/349116305 2019-04-06 03:29:29 UTC https://padlet.com/roseck/ta84k5erjxor/wish/349116305 roseck https://padlet.com/roseck/ta84k5erjxor/wish/349116711 2019-04-06 03:35:22 UTC https://padlet.com/roseck/ta84k5erjxor/wish/349116711 roseck https://padlet.com/roseck/ta84k5erjxor/wish/349117909 New research was conducted as its results were published in "The Lancet" through the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine and Boston University Public Health. The study concluded that black Americans, compared to their white counterparts, are three times more likely to be killed by a police officer, unarmed. Additionally, through conducting interviews with 40,000 black Americans, these individuals who may have witnessed or knew someone directly involved with a murder at the hands of a police officer experienced heightened mental health concerns. ]]> 2019-04-06 03:57:56 UTC https://padlet.com/roseck/ta84k5erjxor/wish/349117909
