(WJRT) - The rain tried to dampen the moment, but it didn’t put a stop to the movement Friday. Dozens of supporters of the Black Lives Matter movement met in the north lot of Swartz Creek middle school for a protest.
It has been 46 days since the death of George Floyd, which sparked momentum in the movement.	Across the world and in mid-Michigan people have protested against police brutality and racial injustice.
Protesters were met with some opposition as they exited the parking lot to Fairchild Street while carrying signs and chanting “Black lives matter.” Counter-protesters yelled “Trump 2020” and “All lives matter.” The march continued to Miller Road and stopped at the historic Mary Crapo School building.
“We are literally crying for change. It has to happen, and it starts now,” said longtime Swartz Creek middle school teacher Erin Francis.
“This group that we have here, you’re the ones that said, ‘I will not accept that,’” said Swartz Creek youth coach Edward Drew.
Students say Swartz Creek teachers and coaches like Francis and Drew have been advocates and voices for equality in their community. Drew said he would encourage black people in this community to voice their opinions but to listen as well.
“If we’re shutoff in explaining or listening to what they say, then they shut off as well, and that’s how it stays divided,” Drew said.
The protest was organized by rising high school senior Brendan Johnson and Swartz Creek High School graduate Abigail Hall.
“I’m excited to spread love and to show the community that we can be as one,” Hall said.
The Swartz Creek protest also welcomed the leader of Black Lives Matter-Flint and fellow student protest organizer from Carman-Ainsworth, Eeshyia King.
“There were tons of people here in support. We didn’t have too much opposition, and the opposition that we did get wasn’t rowdy or hard to handle, so everything went pretty well, and I’m genuinely happy with how it turned out,” Johnson said.
There’s another Black Lives Matter protest set for 1 p.m. Saturday at the Swartz Creek Civic Center.You will be given a definition of a task first, then some input of the task.
In this task, you will be presented with a context passage, a question about that paragraph, and a possible answer to that question. The task is to check the validity of the answer. Answer with "Yes" or "No".

"What goes up must come down." You have probably heard that statement before. At one time this statement was true, but no longer. Since the 1960s, we have sent many spacecraft into space. Some are still traveling away from Earth. So it is possible to overcome gravity. Do you need a giant rocket to overcome gravity? No, you actually overcome gravity every day. Think about when you climb a set of stairs. When you do, you are overcoming gravity. What if you jump on a trampoline? You are overcoming gravity for a few seconds. Everyone can overcome gravity. You just need to apply a force larger than gravity. Think about that the next time you jump into the air. You are overcoming gravity for a brief second. Enjoy it while it lasts. Eventually, gravity will win the battle. <sep>Is the statement "What comes up must go down" no longer true?<sep>It is still true

NoYou kind of buried some important details in just one comment to another person. You all moved mere days before delivery, you have a4 year old autistic child in diapers and you say he’s doing a lot of work with the older one and with the house. While I do think people should try hard to breastfeed as long as they can, I can understand his desire to find just one thing that might make things easier for you two right now. I would argue that this maybe isn’t it but he sounds like he’s drowning a little bit and just grasping for something to control amongst the chaos of so much newness. His comments still sound wrong and not helpful but it sounds like you two have more to work through than just his opinion on bm vs formula. Good luck, I hope you two can find some help to lessen your burdens right nowMany have complained this winter that Southern Illinois doesn't get snow anymore. We only get ice that is not pretty and only leads to motor vehicle accidents. Those wishing for snow now have their wishes fulfilled, and in a dramatic way.
Those wishing for snow now have their wishes fulfilled, and in a dramatic way. Thanks. Now I have to walk to work again just like last winter.
But this winter I've been mainly staying at my girlfriend's house, which is only two blocks from work, so the walk is a minor inconvenience.
I couldn't get a vehicle out of the alley Tuesday, so I walked. I walked back from lunch once the ice and sleet became more of a slush and was then able to drive the truck in reverse to the street. But after work with an afternoon's worth of new sleet on the ground, I couldn't get up the alley, so I drove back to work and walked home.
Wednesday morning, after an additional 5 inches of snow, I was glad I had left the truck at work. It was a lifeline for the household.
A lot of residents were upset their driveways were blocked from snow plowing, but during times like these, the most good for the most people is the only option. The situation calls for rugged individualism and tough choices, a return to a survival-of-the-fittest mode. We will rise above our troubles and appreciate what we do have, like the piece of mail that came today containing no name or return address and claims there have been three confirmed cougar sighting in southwestern Hamilton County since 2002. Cougar reports do not halt just because of bad weather.
Incidentally, for all the talk of cougars around these parts, the snow provides an excellent opportunity to confirm cougar tracks. Maybe we could settle the big-cat controversy once and for all.
Main Street was deserted this morning. Cars were covered with what appeared to be inches of frozen rain and snow. The scene was ghostly. The only sounds were those of tires zipping uselessly and occasional scratching and whacking of scrapers on windows. The town was basically dead.
Throughout the day, various vehicles became jammed up in the snow near the office. Traffic gradually compressed the snow on Vine Street. As customers stopped at the paper box the vehicle exhaust melted down a patch of snow to an icy sheen which then caused people to slip as they walked around their vehicles to reach the paper box.
"Slick 'ere," one man said after he slipped and crashed against his truck.
And there was laughter in the sky as the truck drove away. A skein of Canada geese flew over honking and it struck me they were laughing at me and all of us inconvenienced by the winter storm.
It did not greatly help my mood when I got a call from William Hayes of Houston, who asked about our winter storm here and told me he had just finished mowing his yard.
Children down the street were having a snowball fight. I watched briefly remembering the joy of a snow day from school. But then came the inevitable.
"Stop it, you idiot," one said.
Then there came a cry.
That's the traditional ending to a snowball fight between brothers. One gets hit in the face, either accidentally or on purpose, cries and goes inside to tell mom.
Snowball fights end differently in Greenville, N.C., where they are serious business. Last week at East Carolina University police had to break up a remarkably passionate snowball fight with pepper spray. The officers were not playful sports. One got hit in the back by a snowball, chased down the assailant, tackled him and charged him with assault on a government official and resisting, delaying and obstructing a law enforcement officer.
I'm afraid I'm finding the older a person gets, the less magic he finds in a snow day. If anything, the snow and ice give me a chance to break out my military issue Mickey Mouse boots and stomp around with authority.

(NewsNation) — Wall Street is off to a mixed start Monday. Stock futures continue to rise ahead of an important week where the Federal Reserve could boost interest rates for the first time since 2018.
The ongoing war in Ukraine and rising inflation have weighed heavily on our markets. Russian oil imports is one of the contributing factors. But even so, an exclusive NewsNation poll released last week found that 65% of Americans actually support stronger sanctions against Ukraine, even if they raise prices at the pump.
Investors expect the Fed to announce the first rate increase since 2018 at its March 15-16 meeting to curb surging inflation.
Despite opening in positive territory, the Dow is down nearly 11% Monday morning. The S&P 500 has fallen almost 13% from its record highs in January.
