Symbols of Slavery

Protests against racism and the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis have re-ignited demands in many places around the world to destroy or revise symbols of those who engaged in slavery, who were often honoured in their lifetimes and whose names and faces often remain in the public eye as statues, buildings or institutions.

His Life Mattered

Widespread protests have again broken out in the U.S.A. after the death of an African-American man in police custody. George Floyd, 46, was arrested in Minneapolis, Minnesota on 25 May on suspicion of passing forged money. During his arrest, a police officer knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes, despite Mr Floyd protesting that he couldn’t breathe. Videos of the incident sparked protests across the country. The officer, Derek Chauvin, has been charged with third-degree murder and three other officers dismissed. “I Can’t Breathe” Floyd’s plea that he was being asphyxiated was a grim echo to another case: in 2014, in Staten Island, New York, Eric Garner asphyxiated in a police stranglehold after protesting eleven times that he couldn’t breathe. It was one of the cases that fuelled Black Lives Matter protests across the country. The officer responsible was never charged, but he was ultimately dismissed from the NYPD in 2019 over the case. Protesters about the George Floyd killing have been using the slogan and hashtag “I can’t breathe” in demonstrations. There is an excellent comic report in TOPO magazine on the subject which could be very interesting for your pupils. This is in French, but online with a free access and one more way to understand what is happening these days in the U.S. https://twitter.com/LaRevueDessinee/status/1267768980271509504?s=20 Black Lives Matter and other organisations support the protests, seeing this death as yet another example of the inherent racism in the American police and justice system. African Americans are disproportionately likely to be fatally shot by the police: 23.4% of incidents when they only make up 13.4% of the population according to the U.S. Census Bureau. There is a more general problem with police violence. According to the Mapping Police Violence database, “99% of killings by police from 2013-2019 have not resulted in officers being charged with a crime”. The video below urges people to remember George Floyd and other victims of police violence with the slogans #SayHisName and #SayTheirNames. https://vimeo.com/423875851 More Than Statistics The current protests have spread across the country against a context of economic tension during the Covid-19 epidemic, which has hit poorer Americans much harder than their more comfortable counterparts. African Americans are statistically much more likely to live in poverty. The combination of low-paid work in front-line jobs which, and ineffective or inexistent health insurance and healthcare have meant poor Americans are more likely to be infected. Minnesota has one of the largest poverty gaps between black and white residents of any state in the country: 32% versus 7% While African American residents make up 7% of the state population, they account for 22% of Covid patients.

Ding Dong!

Have you ever wondered why the sound of bells in English is rendered by "ding dong"? "Zig zag" or "Kit Kat" or "ping pong" are more examples of the same linguistic phenomenon, called "ablaut reduplication". This short video explains the phenomenon, which isn't only prevalent in English, it is also present in French, German and Japanese. In the video , from the BBC Reel series, lexicographer Susie Dent explains why it just isn't natural for English speakers to say "dally dilly", "flop flips", "chat chit" or "hop hip".

Rock 'n' Roll Pioneer

Little Richard was one of the pioneers — or as he put it, the architect— of rock ‘n’ roll. He was the flamboyant singer of a string of hits from “Tutti Frutti” to “Good Golly Miss Molly”. Had Richard Penniman been white, he probably would have had a career like Elvis Presley’s. But Little Richard started his career in the late 50s when recordings by black artists were labelled “race records” and marketed exclusively to African Americans. So it was Elvis who took “Tutti Frutti” to the top of the mainstream charts though its creator Richard had sold 1 million copies. It’s emblematic of his output: frenetically energetic as he shrieks ‘awopbopaloobop alopbamboom’. (Legend has it that he taught Paul McCartney to “scream in tune”.) He was born in Georgia in 1932, one of 12 siblings growing up during the Great Depression. His great hits all date from 1955 to 1958, when he gave up rock ‘n’ roll for gospel and became a preacher. But he returned to the rock scene for several comebacks, notably a 1962 tour of the UK where his support acts were Sam Cooke, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. His wild stage presence included outlandish costumes and a gravity defying quiff. He was one of the inaugural inductees in the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame and inspired younger performers from Patti Smith and David Bowie to Prince. https://youtu.be/hSQcj4-zqsc
