Freedom fighters around the globe commemorate July 13 as the day that three Black women helped give birth to a movement. In the five short years since #Black LivesMatter arrived on the scene thanks to the creative genius of Patrisse Cullors, Alicia Garza, and Opal Tometti the push for Black liberation from state-inflicted violence has evolved into one of the most influential social movements of the post-civil rights era. The Black Lives Matter movement has been understood more as human rights effort rather a civil rights movement and with this marginalized freedom groups from around the globe have joined a mission to challenge treatment to people of color.
