Say Their Names: 101 Black Unarmed Women, Men and Children Killed By Law Enforcement

Black. Lives. Matter.

Not more, and definitely not less. Why is a statement about lives having value, controversial? As SNL's Michael Che stated, "Black Lives Matter. Just Matter."

George Floyd's murder was as shocking as it was common. In fact, there is an entire museum in Montgomery, Alabama, dedicated to 4,400 lynching victims. But, the sad truth is, 4,400 were only the reported ones. And, if you look into the statistics, many of the lynchings were perpetrated by, or sanctioned by law enforcement.

This compilation of lost lives is more of an encyclopedia and serves as a record for the 101 deaths of unarmed people of color attributed to law enforcement. From Tamir Rice to Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Aubrey to James Earl Chaney; many you have heard about, and many you have not.

We document who they were as people, the details surrounding their deaths, as well as if there were any arrests or convictions of officers involved.

Unfortunately, this is an incomplete record, but an important reminder just the same. We owe them that much.
