LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - Louisville activists plan to protest Kentucky Derby 147 and hold at least one other major rally the day before, unrelated to Derby though it takes place at the same time the city prepares for the annual event.
In September 2020, protesters marched by the hundreds to Churchill Downs while a sign with the words âarrest the cops who killed Breonna Taylorâ was flown in the sky.
