The Black Lives Matter movement has been around for roughly 6 years! The movement started as a hashtag on social media after the death of Trayvon Martin. It later became nationally known after the death of two more African American males in 2014. Their names are Michael Brown and Eric Garner. It recently resurfaced after the murder of Ahmaud Arbery. Since then, 2 more lives were taken by police brutality. Their names are Breonna Taylor and George Floyd. Many people all over the world are outraged over Floyd's death by police in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The black community and many others are so appalled by the systematic oppression that African Americans have faced, they’ve decided to organize protests worldwide.
