This Article Talks about the History of the Black Lives Matter movement and how it’s really historical and brings awareness to the world. To build a society that respects and cherishes the lives of Black people, it is essential that people are aware of the Black Lives Matter movement. People need to be aware of the history of systematic racism and oppression that produced the current racial injustice and inequality.

1. “The fact that the BLM movement is so new gives rise to concerns that the museum is collecting material that is too recent, topical, and potentially controversial. Nevertheless, as the director of the NMAAHC, Lonnie Bunch has made clear, collecting and promoting such material helps “people to realize… that these are not isolated moments”. (Rod)
2. “BLM’s direct genesis came as a result of the not-guilty verdict against George Zimmerman, who stalked and killed Trayvon Martin, a seventeen-year-old black youth who Zimmerman thought was in the wrong part of town in Sanford, Florida. Three black women (Patrisse Cullors, Alicia Garza, and Opal Tometi), all activists in the African-American community, viewed the verdict with shock, anger, and an underlying belief that something had to be done”. (Rod)

The author Robert J. explains the importance of the Black Lives Matter movement and how ​​it is significant because it works to draw attention to the systematic racism and brutality that Black people experience on a daily basis and to demand that those responsible for that violence be held accountable. There were also many goals that the movement achieved and everyone in the world saw the outstanding change they were doing in the community. The world has been motivated by the effort to unite and promote racial fairness and equality. It has also sparked significant debates and modifications to laws and policies.

1. “Most movements as we know them (historically and through historiography) have evolved since they began. The history of BLM is yet forming; its fullness, complexity, and nuance have yet to be fully written. That the Black Lives Matter slogan entered the sociopolitical cultural milieu in August 2014 by way of a Twitter hashtag bears consideration here too”(Patterson).
2. “BLM affirms the humanity and value inherent in black life through its consciousness-raising and, like the Black Panther Party’s ten-point program, outlines specific areas for intervention, including housing (tenant organizations), education (free lunch and literacy programs), and healthcare (mobile clinics for black people) (Elder 2016)”(Patterson).
