In 2013, when the man who fatally shot black
teen Trayvon Martin was acquitted, Garza
took to Facebook with a call for justice that
insisted, “Black lives matter.” In the years
since, Garza and two other activists, Opal
Tometi and Patrisse Cullors, have inspired
and led the #BlackLivesMatter movement.
