One year ago today, Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old Black medical worker, died after being shot multiple times by police in the city of Louisville, Kentucky during a midnight raid on her apartment. One officer has been charged with ‘wanton endangerment’ for firing shots into a neighboring apartment. No officers have been charged in connection with Breonna Taylor’s death.

The killing sparked a national uprising against police brutality and systemic racism. One year on, how do activists in her community think her life should be honored?
