He explains how each act of violence was incited by specific instances of structural racism, and details concrete and actionable strategies to address crimes committed by our justice system.These stories and strategies are a critical resource for social justice activists looking to further their anti-racist education. These 10 demands form an actionable plan that is necessary to repair our racist past, change the racist present, and bring justice to the future:1. George Floyd: Pay financial reparations to Black communities that have been damaged by legalized racism. 2. Michael Brown: Use consent decrees to reform police departments that demonstrate a pattern or practice of racism and police brutality. 3. Hassan Bennett: Offer compensation for all those who are wrongfully imprisoned. 4. Breonna Taylor: Require functioning body cameras and ban no-knock warrants. 5. Eric Garner: All police disciplinary and dismissal records must be made public. 6. Alton Sterling: Change federal law to allow prosecution of flagrant lawbreakers within police departments. 7. Tamir Rice: Use independent prosecutors to eliminate prosecutorial conflicts of interest. 8. Trayvon Martin: Eliminate stand-your-ground laws. 9. Deborah Danner: Defund the police and move funds to trained social workers, mental health professionals, and conflict resolution specialists. 10. Sandra Bland: End racial profiling. Activists, pundits, politicians, and the press frequently proclaim today\'s digitally mediated racial justice activism the new civil rights movement. As Charlton McIlwain shows in this book, the story of racial justice movement organizing online is much longer and varied than most people know. In fact, it spans nearly five decades and involves a varied group of engineers, entrepreneurs, hobbyists, journalists, and activists. But this is a history that is virtually unknown even in our current age of Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Black Lives Matter.Beginning with the simultaneous rise of civil rights and computer revolutions in the 1960s, McIlwain, for the first time, chronicles the long relationship between African Americans, computing technology, and the Internet. In turn, he argues that the forgotten figures who worked to make black politics central to the Internet\'s birth and evolution paved the way for today\'s explosion of racial justice activism. From the 1960s to present, the book examines how computing technology has been used to neutralize the threat that black people pose to the existing racial order, but also how black people seized these new computing tools to build community, wealth, and wage a war for racial justice.Through archival sources and the voices of many of those who lived and made this history, Black Software centralizes African Americans\' role in the Internet\'s creation and evolution, illuminating both the limits and possibilities for using digital technology to push for racial justice in the United States and across the globe.
