With all the misinformation, misunderstanding, and histrionics going on about “Black Lives Matter” I thought everybody should be clear as to the origins of the term. It comes from a Facebook post written by Alicia Garza on the day in 2013 that George Zimmerman was acquitted of murdering Trayvon Martin, “I continue to be surprised at how little Black lives matter…” Two of her friends, Opal Tometi and Patrisse Cullors, later came up with the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter telling their friend that Black lives do matter, and the Right, as is their wont, misinterpret it as meaning only Black lives matter.
