Document 2:
Trayvon Martin was fatally shot on Feb. 26, 2012. The unarmed teen’s death gave birth to the Black Lives Matter movement. Martin was not killed by a policeman, but by George Zimmerman, a member of the local neighborhood watch who claimed he shot the black 17-year-old in self-defense. A jury acquitted Zimmerman of murder in July 2013. The verdict was very unpopular . Three women, Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors and Opal Tometi — all black, all friends — reacted by posting #BlackLivesMatter on social media.
The phrase “black lives matter” took root in August 2014, when Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson killed Michael Brown. On some days, there were almost 2 million tweets using one or more of the dozens of keywords researchers analyzed. This is how people reacted to seeing tanks and armored vehicles in response to the protests in the small town of Ferguson. A lot of people said ‘Wow, this is really a problem.’”
With daily confrontations between protesters and law enforcement in Ferguson, this was the moment the movement hit its stride.

Document 5
Colin Kaepernick’s protest first occurred in 2016. At that point, he simply sat on the benches during the US national anthem during a game.
But he later chose to take a knee in protest — saying he was doing so to show more respect for military veterans. Several other players joined his protest, even though they received criticism from football fans who said that it was disrespectful to the United States.
“I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of colour,” Kaepernick said in a press conference. “To me, this is bigger than football, and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder.”

READ THIS TEXT FROM THE NEW YORKER MAGAZINE AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS :
Valued Customer: Sincerest apologies, but our organically fed, hundred-per-cent pasture-raised chicken breasts are no longer available. As a substitute, please accept this bag of heavily processed, fifty-per-cent meat, fifty-per-cent miscellaneous chicken-nugget-like product.
Dear Sir or Madam: We wanted to let you know that, though you ordered a single ergonomic desk chair for your two-hundred-square-foot apartment, we have inexplicably sent you three. Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns at this time.
Dear Parent: Sadly, the regular sources of entertainment and child care required for you to maintain your sanity are unavailable. Instead, we will be sending you a wine glass that will never seem big enough. Note: it is as fragile as your rare moments of peace.
Attention, Hospital Staff: We’re so sorry, but we no longer have protective gloves in stock. Please take these oven mitts covered in garbage bags.
Dear Essential Worker: We regret to inform you that the sense of humanity and empathy you have requested from Jared Kushner is currently on back order. While he rolls around in his national stockpile of masks, why not try a bandanna?
Greetings, Once-Enthusiastic Recipient of Letters and Packages: We are sorry to say that the United States Postal Service is no longer functioning, owing to underfunding. As such, we cannot deliver that birthday check from your grandma.
Dear Environment: We sincerely apologize for the mixed messages. We know that your air has been uncharacteristically light on pollution lately, but, please, don’t get used to it.
Hello, Mr. McConnell: Regrettably, the two hundred and fifty-six rolls of toilet paper you ordered are temporarily out of stock. Please be assured that we plan to replenish our supply soon so that you do not resort to wiping your ass with the Constitution.
Dear Human Deserving of Basic Rights: Much to our dismay, we remain unable to fulfill your order for universal health care. Might we kindly suggest that you turn back time and move to Canada?
Valued Citizen: The competent leader you requested is no longer in the White House. Please accept this impatient, uninformed, delusional ratings-chaser as an inadequate replacement. Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns at this time.
Deepest Apologies, America: Your democracy has been discontinued. With enough November preorders, however, we hope to offer this product to you again in 2021.
