摘要：

Although Twitter may not be representative of the overall population, information gathered from Twitter can assist our understanding of what people think about certain social issues, particularly race. With this in mind, using Twitter as the main source for data collection, this study tracks the #Ferguson hashtag in the 4 days following the killing of Mike Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, to examine how race was discussed in the aftermath of the event. A key question guiding this article is how do the tweets captured resonate with broader understandings about race in America?
