Utah Black History Museum has its grand opening on Feb. 27, 2020 outside the Leonardo Museum.
Black Lives Matter Utah unveiled their Black History Museum Bus in Salt Lake City on Saturday.
About 40 people braved the snowy morning and huddled outside the Leonardo Museum for the grand opening. The repurposed school bus is covered with colorful murals of African American artists, leaders and activists like Ruby Bridges, Jane Mannings James and Wallace Henry Thurman.
The back of the bus includes a list of 115 Black people who were killed by police since 2010. One of those names is Bobby Duckworth, a Utah resident who was experiencing a mental health episode when he was shot and killed by police in 2019.

SALT LAKE CITY Utah lawmakers are advancing a bill that would limit when police can use deadly force, but only if a person is solely a danger to him or herself.
The Utah House voted 54-16 to approve a tempered version of HB237 on Tuesday. The bill now goes to the Senate for consideration.
House Minority Assistant Whip Jennifer Dailey-Provost’s HB237 in its original form would have changed the justification in Utah’s statute for a police officer to use lethal force to include both of the words “reasonable and necessary” not just “necessary” to prevent a suspect from escaping or to prevent death or serious bodily injury to the officer or another person.
