Families Seek Justice in Overlooked Police Killings of African-American Women

"Democracy Now!" airs weekdays at 9 a.m. PT on KCET.

As the Black Lives Matter movement grows across the country, the names of Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, and Freddie Gray have become well known. All died at the hands of local police, sparking waves of protest.

During this time, far less attention has been paid to women who have been killed by law enforcement. Today, a vigil under the banner of Say Her Name is being organized in New York to remember them. "Democracy Now!" is joined by Kimberlé Crenshaw, professor of law at UCLA and Columbia University, founder of the African American Policy Forum and co-author of the new report, "Police Brutality Against Black Women."
