Language must be intentional. Words carry meaning beyond conversations that affect us in the past and the present. How do we remember historical events, how are they framed? Who has the last word? #RiotVsMassacre

The people who wrote it could be racist and accusing because they don't know what happened.

Language is crucial when trying to get your point across someone. If they take it the wrong way or you didn't mean something you said,it can lead to bad consequences of your words. This is why what you say can affect how things will go.

the way you word something matters because if you were to say riot it means in general but if you say massacre you think of the holocaust of a crime against a certain group of people. Ethan G and Sailor H

Words shape our understanding of anything. One wrong word can change our understanding.

The way we describe things must be presice or else you could give off misleading information that will make you get the wrong idea of the past events. A small change in wording could change the big idea or what actually happend in the event, Like the Atlanta race Massacre/riot.

Words have different meanings and if we use the wrong words it will send out the wrong "message". And if people know the meaning of a word but they read the description it can confuse them. frfr

The words we use for the past shape our understanding of it. If we use certain words like riot you think of a disturbance of peace, but a massacre is when poeple died due to a disturbance of peace. This can give a different in meaning to certaint events.

Language is very important because people interpret things in different ways due to language used. Different words can make things seem better or worse.

Lying can lead to big consequences and affect how the present will go. Lying about what someone did can cause someone to misunderstand and take it the wrong way and take action. The tone can also affect the interpretation of the message you are trying to spread, or what you are telling someone. #DONTLIE

The words we choose and the language we use have the power to affect the people and the world around us.

Words show how people have acted back then, however the way that they used them was harsh and racist in their perspective. People often called it a riot, however 26 people died and over 100 were injured. The Atlanta riot was more of a massacre than anything and should be treated as such. This shows that the usage of words can create false understanding and the wrong message.

Language is important when describing a past event because it can affect how someone views it. If you were to use words that underestimate what happened in the event, someone’s understanding of what happened could be wrong.

The bad words & Language that is told is very offensive when told in such a mean way. Even if it was their fault (It was not) that type of language is very disrespectful, and I am glad that we don't use that type of language today. ( Words shape our past by showing how people were/thought about people who are different.)
