Power in Groups

       Last night I went to the forum that Dr. J and another professor along with NAACP hosted at CBU. It was a forum speaking about why black lives matters, giving the circumstances that has been going on lately in Ferguson and New York just to name a couple of cities. Now I know what you guys are thinking, why talk about this again and again, but I want to bring attention to something that really stuck with me last night. What I am referring to is the power that lies within a community, meaning that when people come together for a greater purpose we can really make an impact in the community and possibly encourage other to make their own movements.
         Cities all around country had been on strikes and making their voices heard. When a group of people that believe in the same movement come together to broadcast what they are trying to do, it is truly amazing. Right now the movements are about how unfair the justice system is but it does not always have to be about something so serious. Maybe a group of students decide to come together to let their school officials know that the classes offered at their college are not what they expected. The problems can range from different cases, but the most important thing to realize is that there is power in organized strikes. I’m not saying lets all get together and overthrow everything we do not like, but that could be a possibility if we wanted. When people come together and try to get a point across to others it usually works. These are the people the change the world and the people that make communities better. Do you guys see when I am going with this? How many people can agree that there is a great power that lies in groups of people that come together for a greater good?
