I wake up to hear a chanting parade with large signs,saying black lives matter.

I am so confused what is all this about.”No daa black lives matter it is just a different skin color”I say
to myself.I decide to go out-side and ask one of the people holding a sign what this is all about.

They look at me as I am total idiot , a man sighs and start to explain about this guy,that was

killed because he was black.I am still confused what is it with all this black people stuff.

I decide to research about this and make a article about it.I start with reading news articles,well

there isn't much information apart from these parades and signs.I think that it would be a good idea

to ask some of my family elders and see if they have any information about all this black lives matter

stuff.I decide to ask my Grandad first,he talks about how in his day all the black people couldn't go

on a bus and had to attend black people schools.My face drops…

“What is wrong with people”I mutter to my-self

I get my pens out and start to write my article.

Black lives matter…

I think that black lives matter because it is just a different skin color and that all people should be treated with respect not just white people.They still have the same ability as us white people and have a awesome culture if people were just to explore it.My question to the public is how would you like to be treated because it isn't a great feeling to be judged by your color.

I reread my article making sure my spelling is correct.I hand it to my Grandad asking what he thinks of it.He gave it a thumbs up and said I should show it to my class of my writing topic on Friday , I said I would consider it.

It's Friday as I walk into the classroom. I sit on my wooden chair and neatly pile the article on the desk in front of me.Everyone starts to be called up by alphabetical order,Abby,Benji,Carla...

My name starts with a T for Tess.As the time passes by I completely forget about reading my article and all the butterflies in my stomach disappear like clouds.

Tess! Your turn , I can feels my heart beating as I stand up and walk to the front of the class.I start to introduce my topic but my throat goes dry.I calmly take 5 deep breathes and look up and then down the the article.Here goes nothing..

Hi I am going to be reading my article about black lives matter.

“CLAP CLAP CLAP” The class claps

I sit back down on my chair with a big smile on my face...
