Bland, a Chicago native, was only 28-years-old when she died. She was arrested in Texas when she was stopped for a traffic violation. Three days later, she was found in her jail cell, dead, and hanging from a noose. The incident sparked rallies across the U.S. and many activists were outraged that she was even pulled over in the first place.

Her tragic death was ruled a suicide, but questions remain from those who challenge the official story of how she died.
