“Is that a horse over there?”
The students of North Oakland Community Charter School (NOCCS) got a surprise on a hot Friday in July. After lunch, they would have the opportunity to meet, pet and learn about two horses, asking questions like what they like to eat and if they kick people in the head.
So while students drank from their milk cartons and lined up to play with a bouncy ball with staff in the park behind the school, Rachael Meyers, the NOCCS director of cultural and outdoor programs, helped Mulatto Meadows founder Brianna Noble park her truck and trailer, big enough to fit four horses, out front. But if you’ve parked a trailer as many times as Noble has, it’s light work.

Today, on the one-year anniversary of George Floyd’s murder, we talk to three people who participated in last year’s actions. Joseph Williams is an organizer with Black Lives Matter Los Angeles. Brianna Noble is the owner of Mulatto Meadows, a business in Northern California that seeks to diversify the horse-riding world. And Carrington Pritchett is a student in Bakersfield who is also a freelance photographer. Three radically different backgrounds, one purpose last year and today: honoring the life of George Floyd.
