“Black Lives Matter” or “Black Lives Matter” is an international social movement that started in the American black community and worked to fight violence and racism against black people. This movement regularly organizes widespread protests against the killing of blacks by police forces and organized racism in the judicial and police systems. In 2013, following the acquittal of a policeman for the murder of a black teenager named Trayvon Martin, this movement began its activity on social networks with the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter, and in 2014, with large-scale street demonstrations after the killing of two other black Americans in The American level became famous.

Alicia Garza, Patrice Callers, and Opal Tometi, who were the initiators of this hashtag, expanded the scope of activities of this movement to more than 30 local branches across the United States during the years 2014 to 2016. However, the Black Lives Matter movement is decentralized and has no formal hierarchical structure. In the summer of 2015, the movement’s activists publicly challenged the US presidential candidates to define their position on issues related to the  clear action.

In 2020, during the events and protests after the death of George Floyd by police officer Derek Kelvin in the city of Minneapolis, Minnesota, this social movement was at the forefront of news worldwide. A year that started with hope it turned into one of the bad years that presented many of us with a series of losses. However, maybe the sequence of events that happened this year will give humanity more power of gratitude. Reviewing the stories of 2020 deals with the events and people who left a mark on our memories.

A protester at the Black Lives Matter protests holds a United States flag upside down next to a burning building in Minneapolis during protests over the death of George Floyd. George Floyd was an African-American man who died during a police arrest in Minneapolis after a white police officer, Derek Chauvin, pressed his knee on his neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. After that, protests related to the police treatment of Floyd and other African Americans quickly spread across the United States and the world.

The origins of the Black Lives Matter movement go back to the American Black Civil Rights Movement, the Black Power Movement, the Black Women’s Rights Movement in the 1980s, the Pan-African Movement, the Anti-Apartheid Movement, Hip-Hop, LGBT social movements, and the Occupy Wall Street movement. Many media have dubbed this movement “the new American black civil rights movement,”; But many members of this movement disagree with this nickname and consider it different from the previous generation of black rights activists. For example, the new direction does not adhere to old age traditions, including church involvement, respect for the Democratic Party (USA), and respectability politics.

Last May, with Memorial Day weekend approaching and a sunny California forecast, local governments decided to implement social distancing guidelines to help people stay at a safe distance from each other when outdoors. . Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States. This day is the last Monday of May. This day commemorates those who have lost their lives in the United States military.

On Memorial Day, American flags fly at half-mast until noon and then return to their normal state for the rest of the day. This day coincides with the first day of summer vacation. Earlier in the day, beaches were closed in Orange County, California, after pictures were released showing parks overflowing with people. After that, large white circles were painted in San Francisco parks to reinforce and promote social distancing. To reopen public spaces, recreation areas, and parks, San Francisco painted large circles on the park grass so people could sit comfortably, relax, and enjoy the park environment.

“Social distancing” is an action taken by public health authorities for some non-pharmacological measures, such as infection control, to stop or slow the spread of highly contagious diseases. Social distancing aims to reduce the possibility of contact between infected people and healthy people to minimize disease transmission, complications, and, ultimately, death. According to a report published in the medical weekly “Lancet,” if people in crowded centers observe a social distance of at least 2 meters from each other, their risk of contracting the corona disease will be significantly reduced.

Also, this research shows that if people are 1 meter away from each other, the risk of contracting the coronavirus will decrease by only 2.6%, but keeping a distance of 2 meters can reduce the risk of contracting the disease by at least 50%. In some countries, keeping a distance of one meter to one and a half meters is recommended. Still, the evidence shows the significant effect of maintaining a distance of at least 2 meters. Social distancing, along with the use of masks and other health protocols, is essential to help people spread the coronavirus a little easier.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are a professional baseball team based in Los Angeles. In this picture, Los Angeles Dodgers fans are watching the game of their favorite teams in a drive-in cinema environment. In open-air drive-in cinemas, known as drive-in cinemas, people can watch movies under the sky on a big screen in their cars, keeping their distance from others. Drive-in cinemas are inherently built with social distancing criteria, so reopening them in the current situation is not only possible, but also seems extremely logical and reasonable.
