The movement is only a few years old, but as Christopher J. Lebron argues in this book, the sentiment behind it is not; the plea and demand that "Black Lives Matter" comes out of a much older and richer tradition arguing for the equal dignity--and not just equal rights--of black people. The Making of Black Lives Matter presents a condensed and accessible intellectual history that traces the genesis of the ideas that have built into the #BlackLivesMatter movement. Drawing on the work of revolutionary black public intellectuals, including Frederick Douglass, Ida B. Wells, Langston Hughes, Zora Neal Hurston, Anna Julia Cooper, Audre Lorde, James Baldwin, and Martin Luther King, Jr., Lebron clarifies what it means to assert that "Black Lives Matter" when faced with contemporary instances of anti-black law enforcement. He also illuminates the crucial difference between the problem signaled by the social media hashtag and how we think that we ought to address the problem. As Lebron states, police body cameras, or even the exhortation for civil rights mean nothing in the absence of equality and dignity. To upset dominant practices of abuse, oppression and disregard, we must reach instead for radical sensibility. Radical sensibility requires that we become cognizant of the history of black thought and activism in order to make sense of the emotions, demands, and argument of present-day activists and public thinkers. Only in this way can we truly embrace and pursue the idea of racial progress in America. 0aBlack lives matter movement. 4aMovimiento Black Lives Matter  0aAfrican AmericansxSocial conditionsy21st century. 4aAfroamericanos xCondiciones socialesySiglo XXI  0aAfrican AmericansxPolitics and governmenty21st century. 4aAfroamericanosxPolítica y gobierno zEstados UnidosySiglo XXI. 0aEqualityzUnited States. 4aIgualdadzEstados Unidos  0aRacismzUnited States. 4aRacismo zEstados Unidos  0aUnited StatesxRace relations. 4aEstados UnidosxRelaciones raciales
