Following the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri in 2014, the phrase was popularised by Black Lives Matter (BLM) activists seeking to raise awareness about police shootings of African Americans. The phrase was uttered in a recording by Lead Belly and later by Erykah Badu. The phrase stay woke had emerged in AAVE by the 1930s, in some contexts referring to an awareness of the social and political issues affecting African Americans. Beginning in the 2010s, it came to encompass a broader awareness of social inequalities such as sexism, and has also been used as shorthand for left-wing ideas involving identity politics and social justice, such as the notion of white privilege and slavery reparations for African Americans. Woke ( / ˈ w oʊ k/ WOHK) is an English adjective meaning " alert to racial prejudice and discrimination" that originated in African-American Vernacular English (AAVE).
