Flanked by members of Bryant s family, organizer Hana Abdur-Rahim struck a somber tone before those gathered on a sunny April Sunday afternoon. Today we are here to continue to lift up the life of Ma Khia Bryant, she told the crowd. I don t need a video to know she was a child and she deserved to live.
She then introduced a woman named Myra Duke who said she was Bryant s aunt. Speaking to the crowd, Duke thanked them for their dedication to her niece and expressed how sorely the girl s family misses her. It doesn t seem real, said Duke, who later declined to talk to the Dispatch but said she lives out of town. Ma Khia was an angel. This situation didn t have to happen like this; the system failed her.
