English 101 Mid-Term Essаy Assignment Title: Whаt Cаuses Matter tо Yоu? Please read Jacqueline Battalоra’s essay, “Black Lives Matter Is Important Because All Lives Matter.” (See the last two pages—the essay you were supposed to read ahead of time.) Note that in in her article, Battalora reflects on American injustice, and her hope for a future where all lives truly matter. Drawing inspiration from her message, write a three-page essay, addressing one of the following prompts. Essay Prompt 1 “What Issues Matter to You?”Inspired by Battalora’s essay, identify three specific issues in America today that you believe deserve more public attention. Name the three specific issues in your thesis. Explain why this issue matters to you personally (topic sentences). Share only personal experiences/personal examples that support your concern. Essay Prompt 2: “Fighting for a Better Future”Battalora dreams of a more just and compassionate America. Imagine your role in shaping that future. What three changes would you like to see in your community? Name the three changes in your thesis. Explain how these changes would improve people’s lives in your community. Provide specific and detailed examples from your personal experience in support of your topic sentences. Important: Do not use broad topics like “education,” “racism,” or “sexism.” These are too general for a short essay. Instead, narrow the focus to one specific issue within that topic. ✅ Example (narrowed topic): “The impact of tuition-free community colleges on low-income communities.” ❌ Too broad: “Education” or “Inequality.” Essay Structure Guidelines Introduction: Summarize Battalora’s article (4–5 sentences), then transition to your own thesis (last sentence of the intro, underlined). Body Paragraphs (3 total): One paragraph per cause/issue/change. Use clear topic sentences and provide personal, specific support. Conclusion: Reinforce your thesis and reflect on why these causes are meaningful to you and/or the country. Formatting & Style Reminders Minimum 3 full pages (double-spaced, 12pt, Times New Roman, 1-inch margins) Title: Required, creative and relevant (do not bold or underline or italicize your title) Underline your thesis statement. Avoid second-person ("you"). Please do not use the second person point of view (you); otherwise, your grade will be reduced by 10 points. Use emphatic order (start with least important cause, end with the most important) Additional Guidelines: Narrow and explore your topic to a more specific one and jot down some ideas about the narrowed topic and why it is important.

So why have a movement called “Black Lives Matter” that includes the posting of signs that assert the same claim? 2 To say all lives matter may be an existential truth, but current conditions and certainly our past reveal a very different truth. When lives matter, harm to life is taken seriously. This is reflected in coverage by media, action by the state and caring by fellow humans. 3 It was a steamy summer evening in the Deep South, June 1963, in the State of Mississippi when civil rights activist Medgar Evers was gunned down in his driveway. He lay shot to death in front of his home where his wife, Merlie, and their children lay on the floor after hearing the sound of gunshots. Two all-white juries failed to convict Byron De La Beckwith, the man whose prints were found on the murder weapon. The message—a black man’s life did not matter. At least not enough to ensure justice would be served. Thirty-one years later, in 1994, De La Beckwith was tried and convicted after new evidence emerged. 4 A volunteer program was launched in 1964 called Freedom Summer. Just over 5 percent of African-Americans were registered to vote in Mississippi as a result of state-imposed voting tests and violence inflicted upon African-Americans who tried to register. The purpose of the project was to register as many African-American voters as possible and set up schools and community centers in small towns across the state to serve and support the local African-American community. James Earl Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner traveled to Mississippi together to participate in Freedom Summer. 5 The three civil rights workers were stopped for an alleged traffic violation and arrested. After being released, they were again pulled over and then abducted. Two of the men were white and one African-American. The national media widely covered the missing men, federal troops were deployed to assist the search and more than 200 FBI agents were brought to Mississippi. The wife of a missing volunteer from New York noted at the time that if two of the missing volunteers were not white, the incident would have gone unnoticed by the nation. The bodies of the three Freedom Summer workers were eventually found. All three were shot at close range and Chaney, the African-American, had been tortured.

Instead, the U.S. Justice Department indicted the men on civil rights violations. An all-white jury found seven of the accused guilty, nine were acquitted and the jury deadlocked on three others. This 1967 jury decision marks the first time in Mississippi history that anyone was convicted for harms inflicted upon civil rights workers. The message: White lives matter. 7 These dramatic examples of who matters and who does not are not only part of this nation’s history, but also its present. The deaths of black and brown men and women at the hands of law enforcement—or a person assuming the role of neighborhood watch guard—include Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Sandra Bland, Freddy Gray, Walter Scott, Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, among many others. 8 Most of the killers have not faced criminal prosecution. One officer has been found guilty because the entire killing was caught on video, while the officers involved in the detainment and transport of Freddy Gray are currently on trial. The loss of black lives continues to be treated as insignificant, or at least much less significant than the loss of white lives. 9 Consider the nation’s response to crack cocaine, a drug that ravaged many African-American communities throughout the 1990s and beyond. The crack epidemic was expressed as a law-enforcement issue requiring a harsh law-enforcement response. Contrast that with the heroin epidemic plaguing so many locations across the country today. Heroin users are disproportionately white and affluent. Responses to this epidemic are focusing on treatment, viewing the problem as a public health issue rather than as a law-enforcement issue. This latter response is a better one, combining public health with public safety. It took white lives being lost for this response to be imagined and begin to be enacted. White lives matter. 10 Suffragettes in the 19th century held signs that stated “Votes for Women” and not signs that read “Votes for Adults” or “Votes for Men and Women” because, as a matter of law, men already could vote. So within a social context in which most white lives continue to be treated as valuable, the point is made by stating “Black Lives Matter,” since the evidence reveals that these lives continue to be tragically disregarded. 11 Those who experience claims of “Black Lives Matter” as an affront to their sense of shared humanity might want to consider shaping their moral compass by measuring action and inaction within their society rather than by words abstracted from context. We absolutely do all matter, and I look forward to an America where that ideal is truly manifested in our treatment of each other, our distribution of resources, through the efforts of our institutions and the compassion that we feel. 12 In the meantime, “Black Lives Matter” signs are important in combination with action that helps the country better manifest its ideals and promises of equal treatment before the law, opportunity for anyone who works hard, and liberty for all.
