This is the Breonna Taylor Memorial in Downtown Louisville today. For the National audience tuning into today, this is the symbolic heart of the protest movement. Protesters carefully manicure and maintain the memorial.
Here is the memorial for David McAtee, who was killed by the National Guard in Louisville’s West End during the first days of protests.
And here is the memorial for Tyler Gerth, who was shot in this very spot. He was a photographer capturing the protests who was killed in late June.
Not many people in the square yet this morning. Those that are here are having quiet conversations, others sitting in silent reflection.
