Summary
A movement named from a phrase coined by Opal Tometi, Alicia Garza and Patrisse Cullors in response to the murder of Trayvon Martin, whose explosion after the grand jury decisions in the Michael Brown and Eric Garner killings frames Chapter 9 of Palestine: A Socialist Introduction (Palestine: A Socialist Introduction, lines 1598-1627).
Details
- The 2014-16 wave under its banner coincided with an explosion of Black–Palestinian solidarity, including the 2015 delegations to Palestine and the “2015 Black Solidarity With Palestine” statement signed by more than a thousand Black activists, artists and intellectuals (lines 1615-1630).
- The editors’ Conclusion treats the summer 2020 Black-led rebellion, evolved from this movement, as perhaps the largest movement in US history, with estimates of 26 million people participating (lines 1783-1795).
