It’s been almost three months since George Floyd was murdered and the mass protests. Three months since the nationwide protests, looting and riots across America.

距離喬治·弗洛伊德(George Floyd)被謀殺和大規模抗議活動已經快三個月了。 全國抗議活動以來三個月，整個美國發生搶劫和騷亂。

Since then, millions of American have raised their voices, expressing their outrage towards our unjust systems and sympathy for the Black community and the many other marginalized groups in this country.

從那以后，數百萬美國人表達了自己的聲音，對我們不公正的制度和對黑人社區以及該國許多其他邊緣群體的同情表示憤慨。

While some took to the streets in protest and other donated — causing a surge in donation levels for racial equality groups — the reality is that the vast majority relied some form of media as a platform to stand in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.

盡管有些人走上街頭抗議，其他人則捐款，導致種族平等團體的捐款水平激增，但事實是，絕大多數人依靠某種形式的媒體作為支持“黑人生活問題”運動的平臺。

Hundreds of hashtags surrounding George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and even more condemning the police surfaced on Twitter. Black squares were posted on Facebook and Instagram. This level of non-Black engagement surrounding the Black Lives Matter movement and commitment to racial equality is unprecedented, leading us to the simple fact that:

Twitter上出現了數百個圍繞喬治·弗洛伊德(George Floyd)，布雷娜·泰勒(Breonna Taylor)的主題標簽，甚至更多譴責警察的主題標簽。 黑色正方形張貼在Facebook和Instagram上。 圍繞“黑人生活問題”運動和對種族平等的承諾，這種非黑人參與的程度是前所未有的 ，這使我們得出以下簡單事實：

現在，人們比以往任何時候都更關心布萊克的生活。 (Now more than ever, people care about Black lives.)

This rise in popularity for civil rights social movements must be analyzed. Has engagement always been high?

民權社會運動的普及度上升 必須進行分析。 參與度一直很高嗎？

Since its birth and rise in 2012 after the murder of yet another Black man- Trayvon Martin- media and societal attention surrounding the Black Lives Matter Movement has been stagnant. Google Trends show the significant lack of popularity in search queries “Black Lives Matter” and “BLM” in the past eight years.

自從2012年出生和崛起以來，又有一名黑人男子Trayvon Martin被謀殺，有關黑人生活問題運動的社會關注停滯不前。 Google趨勢顯示在過去八年中，搜索查詢“ Black Lives Matter”和“ BLM”明顯不受歡迎。

With George Floyd’s murder on May 25, 2020, the popularity of these search trends saw an unparalleled level of interest which has enabled change to overtake the country. Police institutions are being remodeled. Confederate statues are being dismantled. Cities have banned the chokehold. Americans are becoming activists for the first time in modern history.

隨著2020年5月25日喬治·弗洛伊德(George Floyd)被謀殺后，這些搜索趨勢的流行帶動了人們無與倫比的興趣 ，這使得變革已經超過了該國。 警察機構正在改建。 同盟國雕像被拆除。 城市已經禁止了窒息。 美國人在現代歷史上首次成為激進主義者。

We now know that historically, the momentum around other Black Lives Matter movements has been high at times but ultimately short-lived. However, the metric of success for these movements is the change that stems from them. The level of online engagement for a movement does not guarantee justice or change. Is the engagement of the Black Lives Matter movement following George Floyd’s death being matched with tangible action or is it yet another display of slacktivism?

我們現在知道，從歷史上看，其他“黑死病”運動的動力有時很高，但最終是短暫的。 但是，這些運動成功的標準是源于它們的變化。 一個運動在線參與的程度不能保證正義或改變。 喬治·弗洛伊德(George Floyd)逝世后，黑人生活問題運動的介入是否與實際行動相吻合？或者這又是一種懈怠的表現？

Within three weeks, #georgefloyd was no longer the top trending hashtag on Twitter and by the end of June #breonnataylor had dropped out of the top trending hashtags all together.

在三周之內，＃georgefloyd不再是Twitter上的熱門話題標簽，到了6月底，＃breonnataylor一起退出了熱門話題標簽。

The decline in engagement around these topics continues to demonstrate that sustained activism and engagement around social movements is critical for their survival.

圍繞這些話題的參與程度的下降繼續表明， 圍繞社會運動的持續的活動和參與對他們的生存至關重要。

Together as a society, we can vow to continue this momentum from George Floyd’s murder and create justice for the vulnerable and reconciliation for the abused. I believe that Americans has a genuine desire for equality. but has become debilitated by an overwhelming lack of information. The only way to overcome this burden to step towards change is for Americans to educate themselves about these issues. Only then can we take this level of momentum and sustain it to abolish these issues.

作為一個社會，我們可以一起發誓要繼續喬治·弗洛伊德(George Floyd)被謀殺的勢頭，為弱勢群體伸張正義，為被虐待者和解。 我相信美國人有一個真正的 渴望平等。 但是由于信息的絕對匱乏而使他們感到失望。 克服這一負擔以邁向變革的唯一方法是讓美國人對這些問題進行自我教育 。 只有到那時，我們才能采取這種勢頭并保持這種勢頭，以消除這些問題。

Part of this education involves staying aware and maintaining the momentum of this new age awareness brought by George Floyd’s murder. Not just when it’s featured by the news cycle or by trending hashtags. We need to be continuously working towards solving this issues that rob Americans of their human rights and the first step in that is developing awareness through education.

這種教育的一部分包括保持意識并保持喬治·弗洛伊德(George Floyd)謀殺案帶來的這種新時代意識的動力。 不僅是新聞周期或趨勢標簽的特色。 我們需要繼續努力解決這個剝奪美國人人權的問題，而第一步就是通過教育提高認識。

While this is not an easy route, it is a necessary one. My team of social impact driven data analysts (Jin Pu & Chelsie Lui) have worked together to develop these resources to help others learn about these issues. Through accessible data visualization and historical analysis, we highlight the low social media engagement statistics and causal lack of change in social movements.

盡管這不是一條容易的路線，但它是必需的路線。 我的團隊由社會影響力驅動的數據分析師( Jin Pu ＆ Chelsie Lui )共同開發這些資源，以幫助其他人了解這些問題。 通過可訪問的數據可視化和歷史分析，我們強調了社交媒體參與度統計數字低以及社交活動變化缺乏因果關系的情況。

Join us in our goal to lead others on the path to imminent change through sustained, informed activism- always.

與我們一起實現我們的目標 ，即通過持續的知情行動始終引導他人走上即將發生的變化的道路。
