Terrence Greer, who also goes by T.J. Greer, was the primary leader of Atlanta's Black Lives Matter Movement. He was featured in the Chronicles of Higher Education for helping organize Emory Universitiy's Racial Justice Retreat in 2016. Greer was featured on Change.org's Twitter page in 2014 for a petition that received 10,000 signatures that was sent to Congressman John Lewis and Congressmen David Scott, and was eventually addressed in Obama's Taskforce on Policing. Lewis later created database to document police excessive force statistics. Greer won the Editor's Choice Award from Digital Humanities Now for a paper published with Dr. Mark Ravina that was focused on how colleges responded to the Black Lives Matter Movement's "Demand Movement". Greer worked with Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Hank Klibanoff in the Georgia Civil Rights Cold Case Project. In 2017, Greer spoke at the Georgia State Capital in support of bill that sought to institutionalize afrocentric educations in Georgia's public schools. Many leaders identified Greer as the leader after Sir Maejor Page, a man who started a chapter of Black Lives Matter in Atlanta, was found guilty of fraud.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
