BLACK LIVES MATTER
The BlackLivesMatter movement was created as a hashtag on the Twitter social network, and during its very short existence it developed into a strong alternative to the political paralysis and isolation that advocates of racial equality face every day since the time of the President of the United States of America, Barack Obama. In a little less than two years, this new movement revived political conflicts on a racial basis, breathed new energy into the "right cause" and laid the foundations of a new modern resistance to racial discrimination and racial stigmatization.
Keywords: BlackLivesMatter, race, Michael Brown.
