In recent years social media platforms have emerged as integral and operative elements of activism social justice movements. Prior studies have focused primarily on quantifying the use of social media in political and social campaigns. The overall purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate the quality and types of engagement that occur on social media platforms related to social justice movements. Next, the focus was to determine the role, if any, that race plays in online social justice discourse. The study used mixed qualitative methodologies to investigate how the use of social media to communicate and/or engage with protest movements---specifically Black Lives Matter and Take a Knee---impact awareness and perceptions of the movement. Additionally, the research also examined the role race plays in users' perceptions of, and responses to, the movements. The mixed-methods research design incorporated content analysis of approximately 1400 Facebook and Twitter posts that utilized prevalent hashtags for the movements, in-depth interviews with a select sample of 8 participants, and analysis of the social media discourse on the topic among the interview subjects' social media timelines. Findings indicate that discourse via social media affords movements and activists the opportunity for organization, mobilization and free expression of a movement's people, purpose and plans. As a result, social media has become a preferred medium giving voice to the marginalized. However, one of the pitfalls of social media used in this way is the potential to effectively drown out or subvert the narrative of a movement by those presenting counter-narratives, which presents a major issue of concern for many activists and movements.
