activism-on-twitter/

This online article was written by Monica Anderson, who is an associate director of

research at Pew Research Center. In this article Monica examines how the Black Lives

Matter movement had its beginnings on Twitter, and how the movement’s online presence

has grown between 2014 and 2020. She does this by analyzing the activity of the

blacklivesmatter hashtag and explaining events that occurred which caused this hashtag to

have a spike or growth in activity . I used this article in my project to research the history

of the Black Lives Matter movement. Comparing the movement’s social media growth to

certain events that occurred in the U.S. allowed me to better understand the contexts under

which this movement began and what recent events in America allowed it to grow.

this article, she lays out newly discovered facts relating to George Floyd’s death that were

revealed by recently released body cam footage from the incident. I used this article to get

a better understanding of George Floyd’s death and why members of the Black Lives
 Matter movement had taken to the streets to protest it. Reading this piece gave me an

updated perspective on the incident, and helped me better understand why George Floyd’s

death was such a large catalyst for the growth of the Black Lives Matter movement.

This VICE blog post looks at the Black Panther coloring book that was released by the

FBI in 1968 to spread misinformation about the Black Panther Party. It includes copies of

several pages directly from the coloring book, as well as context about the time period the

book was written to help the audience better understand why it was effective. I used this

to find pages directly from the book for my virtual art gallery.
