Document 2:
Trayvon Martin was fatally shot on Feb. 26, 2012. The unarmed teen’s death gave birth to the Black Lives Matter movement. Martin was not killed by a policeman, but by George Zimmerman, a member of the local neighborhood watch who claimed he shot the black 17-year-old in self-defense. A jury acquitted Zimmerman of murder in July 2013. The verdict was very unpopular . Three women, Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors and Opal Tometi — all black, all friends — reacted by posting #BlackLivesMatter on social media.
The phrase “black lives matter” took root in August 2014, when Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson killed Michael Brown. On some days, there were almost 2 million tweets using one or more of the dozens of keywords researchers analyzed. This is how people reacted to seeing tanks and armored vehicles in response to the protests in the small town of Ferguson. A lot of people said ‘Wow, this is really a problem.’”
With daily confrontations between protesters and law enforcement in Ferguson, this was the moment the movement hit its stride.

Document 5
Colin Kaepernick’s protest first occurred in 2016. At that point, he simply sat on the benches during the US national anthem during a game.
But he later chose to take a knee in protest — saying he was doing so to show more respect for military veterans. Several other players joined his protest, even though they received criticism from football fans who said that it was disrespectful to the United States.
“I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of colour,” Kaepernick said in a press conference. “To me, this is bigger than football, and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder.”
