"Patrisse Cullors, a BLM co-founder said in an interview with Real News Network in 2015, 'We actually do have an ideological frame.
Myself and Alicia [Garza, one of 3 co-founders] in particular are trained organizers. We are trained Marxists.' Cullors created the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter and co-founded BLM with Alicia Garza and Opal Tometi in 2013.
In a 2018 interview with Democracy Now, she said her 'mentor' is Eric Mann, a member of the radical-left militant group Students for a Democratic Society and the Weather Underground, which bombed government buildings and police stations in the 1960s and 1970s." - Epoch Times
