The photo only shows a man’s face from the top of his head to his shoulders and a bag of empty skittles covering his mouth.by the picture being that it is only his head takes away a lot of meaning for this picture.Such as how he was walking or was he just standing and also the background. If it was a head to toe picture ones could have seen his whole back ground and the way he was standing and if he was holding anything. This photo speaks numerous of thing about the “Black Lives Movement” the first thing that comes  to mind is the Trevon Martin It brings back three important things about the case which was skittles, Arizona, and hoodie. On the night of February 26 Trevon Martin went to the store to get a packed of skittles and a Arizona. prior to that George Zimmerman was apart of the neighborhood watch and he was following Trevon Martin while harassing the police every time he thought it was necessary to call. He called another time and told the dispatcher over the phone that there was a suspicious guy and the dispatcher ask was he following the suspect and he replied yes after reviewing the story and the news i thought to myself it was racism from the beginning. Think about it! an innocent Black African American guy walking at night from the store with a hoodie on walking home of course the majority would think he is suspicious and think that he is a menace to society. In conclusion not only does black lives matter “All Lives Matter” we as a whole have to stop separating each group and races and work together to stop the violence and nobody is better nor different than each other.

Part 1

In Sarah Schindler piece ” Architectural Exclusion: Discrimination and segregation through physical design of the built environment.” she mainly talked about man made built objects which are physical features that are put in placental certain individuals mainly poor people how hard it is to access certain areas than the majority group. In 1974 the city of Memphis closed off the street that connected an all white neighborhood to primarily white one. The U.S supreme court did not find any wrong doing with the shut down of the street in 1974 in the city of Memphis. The beginning of the article talked about how built environments has made a major effect on today’s society, such as the MARTA systems, Highways, and bridges. How built environment have kept colored people and poor people separated. Architectural and regulation have played a huge part as well how a environment looks may have a person thinking that is how it generally is made and it does not hold any value when it was made.For example “one might think it a simple aesthetic design decision to create a park bench that is divided into three individual seats with armrests separating those seats. Yet the bench may have been created this way to prevent people often homeless people from lying down and taking naps.” (Schindler par 12) Everyday people are adjusting theirs selves to the built environment that is generally made for a purpose that people have to adjust their self to not knowing it was made this particular way for a reason.
