LOUISVILLE, Ky. More than a year after her death, Louisville showed Breonna Taylor s legacy is still alive on what would have been her 28th birthday.
The Breonna Taylor Foundation, established by Taylor s mother Tamika Palmer last year, invited the community to join her at Waterfront Park on Saturday evening for Praise in the Park in honor of the late emergency room technician.
Hundreds of people turned up despite the barrage of cicadas on the Big Four Lawn to pray, dance and sing together.
Palmer promised to continue to be visible as long as no one has been held accountable for her daughter s death, and thanked the crowd who joined her on her first-born s birthday.

The program has been very well received. In fact, it’s now oversubscribed.” After tourism businesses, the next largest group to apply for grants has been the hospitality sector with its restaurants, pubs and breweries, Kahlon said. The program offers grants of $10,000 to up to $30,000, and an additional $5,000 to $15,000 for tourism-related businesses.
