Black lives matter is a national organization working towards bettering the lives of African Americans. It works toward rebuilding the black liberation movement. Black lives matter movement does not mean any other life is not as important. It's simply justifying that right now in the moment, the lives at stake are black lives. The black lives matter movement started in 2012, after the death of Trayvon Martin. From there it only grew bigger and better making it a nationwide movement. People all over the United States of all race, color, and gender support the movement. Although since racism still continues in America, many do not support the movement, and think of it as a chance for blacks to “pull the race card”. Black lives matter movement
