VocalEssence Chorus, VocalEssence Singers Of This Age

Alysia Lee is an artist, educator, administrator, and advocate whose methods center on youth leadership, anti-racism, creativity, and justice. Say Her Name brings the powerful libation ceremony to the concert stage with a call to action. If you say the name, you’re prompted to learn the story, and if you know the story, then you have a broader sense of all the ways Black bodies are made vulnerable to police violence.

Say her name. She cannot be forgotten by us.
Say his name. He cannot be forgotten by us.
Say their names. They cannot be forgotten by us.
Put her name in the air. Say her name.
Put his name in the air. Say his name.
Put their names in the air. Say their names.
