Say Their Names: Black Lives Matter
This resource provides full name audio files for a partial list of Black Americans killed by police. It is intended to support those who are encouraging the public to hear and say these names, to help recognize their humanity, memorialize them, and raise awareness of racial injustice. It is also intended to support the correct pronunciation of these names in national discourse.
The names are sourced from a list maintained by NPR CodeSwitchLink opens in a new window as well as requests from the community.
