Sandra Bland was a 28-year-old African American woman who gained national attention after her arrest in July 2015. She was pulled over by a Texas state trooper for a minor traffic violation. The encounter escalated, leading to her arrest and subsequent detention in a local jail. Three days later, Sandra was found dead in her cell, with authorities ruling her death a suicide. Her case sparked widespread protests and discussions about racial profiling, police conduct, and mental health in the criminal justice system. It also contributed to the broader movement for social justice, particularly within the context of the Black Lives Matter movement.
