In this episode of the DU 80208 Podcast, Emma Williams explains the history behind the Black Lives Matter movement. Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors and Opal Tometi started the #BlackLivesMatter online movement in response to the murder of Trayvon Martin in 2013. Since then, BLM has continued to grow and raise awareness around anti-black racism and violence.
