Black Lives Matter (BLM) formed in 2013 as a decentralized social movement confronting anti-Black violence in the United States. In unforeseen ways, BLM has gained new momentum and forms while moving far beyond U.S. borders. This discussion will explore the Italian histories, geographies, and social and cultural processes that contour unique forms of blackness and BLM.
