AGITPROP: Serve the people!

The Asian American movement gives information of history about Asian activism in the 1970s which were the first exhibition. A group called the A Grain of sand sang about "the struggle" and walked by celebrating the Asian American histories and attended a screening of documentaries in Chinatown. In doing the protest, Serve the people, it helped them cut the stereotype apathy among Asian American. This movement was limitless whether they worked towards community control or not.http://interferencearchive.org/serve-the-people-the-asian-american-movement-in-new-york/
  "Black lives matter" was inspired in the 1960s by civil rights and black power movement.In 2014, Black lives Matter members took their complaint and protested to the streets for the first time through the Black lives Matter Freedom Ride to Ferguson,Missouri. They took part in the non-violent demonstration for justice in the wake of  Michael brown who was shot by a police officer. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/08/13/us/ferguson-missouri-town-under-siege-after-police-shooting.html?_r=0
Serve the People: The Asian American Movement in New York, 2014 exhibition organized by Ryan Wong and Interference Archive and Black lives Matter was made by three women named Alicia Garcia, Opal Tometi and Patrisse Cullors which was created in 2012 after Trayvon Martin's death.

The similarity on both projects is fighting for civil rights. They want to be heard and treated right because we are under the same law and follow it. Peoples lives are risk so we dont know who or what is next in the country. The only way to save lives is to protest and show compassions to what is going on in the world. These protest is not a moment,It's a Movement.
