Watch: the Founders of Black Lives Matter Explain the Movement

In this video, the founders of Black Lives Matter — Opal Tometi, Patrisse Cullors, and Alicia Garza — speak about what led them to spark this movement and what makes them stay committed to this work. Garza says, “Nobody wants to talk about this as a real, deep-seated disease that this country suffers from. When we nail this piece about black lives, we are actually trying to unlock the humanity of this country.”
