Khalid Y. Long outlines the origins of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2013, following the murder of teenager Trayvon Martin and the acquittal of his killer. He traces how theatre producers and playwrights collaborated to create artistry in response to a series of contemporary murders of Black men, women, and children—Eric Garner and Michael Brown among others—often by police officers. Theatre speaks back to this tragic violence in two featured play collections: New Black Fest’s Facing Our Truth and Reginald Edmund’s Black Lives, Black Words.
