    The Black Lives Matter movement began in 2013 in response to the acquittal of George Zimmerman for the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. It seeks to draw attention to violence against black people, especially those killed by police or due to racial profiling and vigilante violence. The timeline on the ABC News website documents several cases of black individuals killed by police officers from 2013 to 2016. These victims were often unarmed and allegations of excessive force were made, but police officers frequently did not face charges. The movement gained increased attention and support after protests in July 2016 over the police shootings of Alton Sterling in Louisiana and Philando Castile in Minnesota.
