Recent years have seen a surge in public awareness and scrutiny of police-involved incidents resulting in the deaths of unarmed individuals, particularly within the black community. These instances have sparked heightened conversations about the disproportionate use of force and systemic racism prevalent in law enforcement agencies across the United States.

While it is essential to acknowledge that the majority of police officers diligently perform their duties, protecting and serving their communities, it is crucial to shed light on these incidents to address the ongoing injustices and advocate for meaningful change.

In this article, we present a comprehensive list of 101 black unarmed women, men, and children who tragically lost their lives due to encounters with law enforcement officers. The intent behind this is to honor their memory, raise awareness about these incidents, and contribute to the ongoing discussions surrounding police reform.

It is crucial to note that this list is not exhaustive and represents only a fraction of the countless lives lost. The tragic deaths of these unarmed black individuals stress the urgent need for reforms within law enforcement agencies across the nation.

Moving forward, it is essential to create avenues that promote dialogue, understanding, and meaningful reforms. The demand for justice and accountability must remain at the forefront of public discourse so that we can work towards a society where these incidents become the exception rather than the norm.

The Road to Change and Justice:

Bringing about meaningful change requires collective thought, action, and a commitment to justice. Advocacy groups, community organizations, and concerned citizens have been at the forefront of the fight for justice, pushing for reforms within the criminal justice system and law enforcement agencies.

Some suggested methods for promoting change are:

• Supporting grassroots organizations actively working towards police accountability and reform.
• Engaging in open and honest conversations about systemic racism and its impact on marginalized communities.
• Contacting elected officials to express concerns and demand comprehensive reforms.
• Participating in peaceful protests and public demonstrations to raise awareness.
• Encouraging transparency and accountability through the use of body cameras and independent oversight.

By actively engaging in these efforts, we can contribute to dismantling the systems that perpetuate injustice and work toward a more equitable society.

The deaths of 101 black unarmed women, men, and children at the hands of law enforcement is a sobering reality that demands swift action. By acknowledging these tragedies, highlighting their stories with empathy, and working collectively towards justice, we can strive to create a society free from the injustices that have plagued marginalized communities for far too long.

It is our collective responsibility to advocate for the necessary reforms within the criminal justice system and ensure that the lives lost are not forgotten. Each name on the list represents an individual who deserved better, and it is up to us to take the necessary steps to prevent such tragedies from occurring in the future.

Let us unite in our pursuit of justice and demand a society in which all individuals can live without fear of violence or discrimination, regardless of their race, gender, or age.

✔ 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.
