Description
Aliya, a seven-year-old Black girl, sees on TV news the public reaction to recent and tragic events. Determined to make sure the lives of those lost matter, she leads her own protest march that extends beyond her living room and into her neighborhood to "say their names" and loudly proclaim "good people come in all colors." Say Their Names touches on reoccurring social issues, prejudice, racism, death, activism, and social justice. The focus of Aliya's story is to teach children to take a stand, do what's right, and help bring peace and harmony to the world.
