Large mural of Breonna Taylor will be painted in Annapolis
ANNAPOLIS, Md. - A mural of Breonna Taylor who was killed by police in Louisville, Kentucky, will be painted in a historically Black neighborhood in Annapolis, Maryland.
The Capital Gazette reports that artists and volunteers will paint a 7,000-square-foot mural of Breonna Taylor on Saturday.
Taylor was shot and killed by police in her Louisville apartment in March. She was sleeping when officers executed a no-knock warrant. Her death sparked protests and calls for the officers involved to be arrested and charged.
Muralist Jeff Huntington said the mural will be painted on a basketball court.
The project is in collaboration with the Maryland Commission on African American History and Culture and the Banneker-Douglass Museum.
