Black Lives Matter in Historical Perspective

By Megan Ming Francis and LeahWright-Rigueur

This review examines the Black Lives Matter movement. Despite a growing body of literature focused on explaining the formation and activities of the present Black Lives Matter movement, less attention is given to the historical antecedents. What are earlier Black-led movements centered on ending state-sanctioned violence? This article situates Black Lives Matter in a much longer lens and examines the long struggle to protect Black lives from state sanctioned violence.We draw from existing research to provide a historical genealogy of the movement that traces the beginnings of a movement to protect Black lives to the work of Ida B.Wells and follows it up to the work of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party and the urban rebellions that have followed.
