Amy Sherald's Breonna Taylor portrait in new Louisville museum exhibit


An exhibition to honor the life of Breonna Taylor and the nationwide struggle for racial justice is coming to Louisville s Speed Art Museum.
Following a year defined by the largest racial justice movement in United States history, the exhibition, titled Promise, Witness, Remembrance, will reflect on the life of Taylor, a 26-year-old Black woman who was shot and killed by LMPD officers on March 13 during a botched drug raid at her apartment, and the protests that ensued in Louisville for 100-plus days.
