more. In the wake of the murder of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin
in 2012 and the exoneration of his killer, three black women
activists launched a hashtag and social media platform, Black Lives
Matter, which would become the rubric for a larger movement. To
many, especially those in the media, Black Lives Matter appeared to
burst onto the national political landscape out of thin air.
However, as Making All Black Lives Matter shows, the movement has
roots in prison abolition, anti-police violence, black youth
movements, and radical mobilizations across the country dating back
for at least a decade. Barbara Ransby interviewed more than a dozen
of the principal organizers and activists in the movement and
provides a detailed review of its extensive coverage in mainstream
and social media. Making All Black Lives Matter offers one of the
first overviews of Black Lives Matter and explores the challenges
and possible future for this growing and influential movement.
