The phrase "Black Lives Matter" emerged first in 2013 after George Zimmerman was acquitted for the killing of Trayvon Martin. It was recognized more widely during the protests against police brutality in Ferguson, Missouri, after 18-year-old Michael Brown was shot to death by police in 2014.
One of the movement's guiding principles is ending "state-sanctioned violence," which includes killings by police. Recent polling suggests many Americans see this view -- and the recent protests against police brutality -- as legitimate.
