In 2013 in Sanford, Florida, vigilante George Zimmerman was found not guilty of the murder of 17-year-old African American Trayvon Martin. As a result, the struggle against police violence flared up under the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter and turned into one of the biggest grassroots movements in the United States.

Co-founder Patrisse Cullors spoke to VPRO Backlight about the various forms of violence against black citizens, and why resistance is essential.
