The answer may be because of starting good things, or just having hope.

Explanation:

I don't know if this is a answer, but let's say the year was 2003, and it wasn't a good year for a lot of other people. They might've got a person to fix the issue. So, that person might be having hope, and starting protests In African Americans.

So, the answer to your question, is basically doing good things, OR having good hope, and telling the world why they should support African Americans.
