MSNBC: Family, Activists Mark One Year Since Breonna Taylor’s Death

RUSH EXCERPT:

HYLTON: “There’s been some singing here today, Alex. But right now the mood is a lot of hurt and anger. Benjamin Crump is still speaking, he’s one of the lead lawyers working on breonna Taylor’s case from the start. But family members, supporters are on the stage here. What you’re hearing is renewed calls for accountability and transparency. There’s a major divide between residents in the city and those they counted on to serve them. What you’re hearing from black residents particularly is even though there have been reforms made over the past year that until someone is charged as responsible for killing of breonna Taylor, justice hasn’t been served, justice hasn’t happened here. We have heard spoken word poetry and music but ultimately many faces in the crowd are crest fallen, their emotions are running high. I’m sorry, I’m actually choking up a tiny bit myself because there’s been so much hurt for black folks in Louisville over the course of this year between the case of breonna Taylor and the effects of Covid, you can just tell how exhausted and hurt so many people in this city have been.”
