Black Lives Matter ignores victims of systemic racism and enriches a select few, so say the families of those killed by the police and many of the group’s own activists.

Founded in 2013 following the acquittal of George Zimmerman for his role in Trayvon Martin’s death, the group has held protests around the country against perceived systemic racism against minorities. Black Lives Matter has sparked global conversations on race and policing and is credited with a number of criminal justice reform efforts.
