Black Lives Matter | Sensory Seeking

Black Lives Matter (BLM) is a decentralized political and social movement protesting against incidents of police brutality and all racially motivated violence against Black people. Originating in 2013 with the use of the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter on social media, it gained widespread recognition following the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. The movement has since organized protests, advocated for policy changes, and raised global awareness about systemic racism and inequality. BLM's impact is evident in increased public discourse on race, shifts in law enforcement practices in some areas, and its significant cultural resonance.
