On March 13, 2020, Taylor was killed by members of the Louisville, KY Police Department who were investigating her ex-boyfriend and believed he had store large quantities of drugs in their home. Nothing was found in the wake of her death.
“I’m humbled and honored to welcome Ms. Tamika Palmer. My most sincere condolences for you.,” HCCC President Christopher Reber said.
“This atrocity of injustice did not occur in isolation … We need to do more.”
Reber also called it a “moral imperative” to remember those like Taylor, George Floyd, and Trayvon Martin, reading their names aloud before the program began.
