Breonna Taylor’s family honors her legacy one year after she was killed in Louisville
LA TimesAttorney Ben Crump speaks to a gathering of supporters of the family of Breonna Taylor on the anniversary of her death Saturday at Jefferson Square Park in Louisville, Ky. On the anniversary of Breonna Taylor’s death, the slain Black woman’s family continued their call for justice as hundreds of demonstrators gathered in downtown Louisville on Saturday. In a tweet Saturday, President Biden called Taylor’s death “a tragedy, a blow to her family, her community, and America.” “As we continue to mourn her, we must press ahead to pass meaningful police reform in Congress. “We’ve got to keep going.” Demonstrator Olivia Alexander said the anniversary of Taylor’s death reminded her to continue to work for racial justice, despite some setbacks in the past year. “As we’ve seen, there’s not been any justice for Breonna Taylor, and a lot of the other brutal killings of Black Americans, so holding onto hope has been the most important thing,” Alexander said.
