Within the past decade, the movement "Black Lives Matter" have been grabbing people's attention across the nation, and even the whole world. In the article I chose, it shows just one example of the great lengths that people go through when their culture is being challenged. On Martin Luther King Jr. day, protesters had decided to block off a section of the Bay Bridge. They did it in hopes to raise awareness of the Black Lives Matter movement.
In class, we learned about the persistence and drive that made a culture/race grow stronger. I found that the Black Lives Matter did just that. In promoting and raising awareness to this cause, it makes people realize how important it is to support.

It's an interesting question--is there persistence of African culture in African Americans, or is there a "black culture," or ... And if there is, what is it that makes for persistence rather than assimilation?
