“Each of these names was somebody’s baby.”
That’s the message that currently greets visitors to BabyNames.com, directly above a list of black Americans who were killed as a result of police or civilian violence.
And at the bottom, a hashtag reading #BlackLivesMatter.
Jennifer Moss, the founder of BabyNames.com, said she hopes the message will "further the conversation about systemic racism in our culture." (BabyNames.com)

The site, which is largely used as a resource for expecting parents, added the moving message to the top of its homepage earlier this week, with the intentions of “further[ing] the conversation about systematic racism in our culture,” per a statement from Babynames.com founder Jennifer Moss.
“BabyNames.com is a family-owned and operated company and are saddened that so many families have needlessly lost loved ones,” Moss said in a statement shared with Fox News.

The list of names — which begin with Emmett Till, a 14-year-old boy who was lynched in Mississippi in 1955, and end with George Floyd — were also shared to the site’s Instagram page.
“BabyNames.com stands in solidarity with the black community,” the site captioned the post.
