Overview: After Hurricane Katrina decimated New Orleans in 2005, Kanye West goes on NBC's telethon Concert for Hurricane Relief and famously says, "George Bush doesn't care about Black people" to a live national audience. This becomes one of the first viral moments, but more importantly, a spark that galvanized a generation, laying the groundwork for the Black Lives Matter movement.
