Sandra Bland was a 28-year old woman who was violently arrested at a traffic stop and later found hanging in her jail cell. The confusion surrounding her alleged suicide sparked outrage toward the police involved. Scholar and civil rights advocate Kimberlé Crenshaw began the Say Her Name campaign to spread awareness of the number of police brutality cases that involved Black women.
