As many Kentuckians are planning to recognize the one-year mark of the death of Breonna Taylor at the hands of Louisville Metro Police Department officers, a group of Murray State University students are also working to honor her memory.
The MSU College Democrats will host a candlelight vigil Saturday at 6 p.m. in the Elizabeth Hall Amphitheater on Murray State’s campus. The group’s president, Ryan Ackermann, told WKMS the members of the College Democrats felt called to keep the spotlight on Taylor one year after her killing.
“We decided that it would be a very good thing to have a vigil for her in her memory, and honor her life,” Ackermann said.

Murray State organizations and clubs have changed how they operate because of COVID-19. They have been tested in a way they have never been tested before, but student participation has not been phased.
One of those clubs is the Murray State Alliance led by senior biology major Kearby Stiles. Stiles gave positive reviews as to how his club was functioning.
“I would say that we had about the same number of new people this year as in previous years,” Stiles said. “We switched from in-person meetings to all meetings being over Zoom because we did not want to have any COVID-19 risks for our meetings.”
