why black lives matter was started?
Answers
Black Lives Matter is an activist movement that began as a hashtag (#BlackLivesMatter) after George Zimmerman was acquitted in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed African-American teenager killed in Florida in July 2013.
The movement became more widely known and popularized after two high-profile deaths in 2014 of unarmed African-American men (Eric Garner in Staten Island, NY and Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO). Neither of the police officers involved in their deaths was indicted.
Answer:
The blacks in America has faced many racist behaviour towards them from time immemorial. A recent incident where George Floyd was pressed to death by a white American police officer led to furious outburst of the people and the black movement of BLACK LIVES MATTER started.
