Breonna Taylor

Breonna Taylor was an African American emergency medical technician whose death in Louisville, Kentucky, became a major catalyst for the Black Lives Matter movement and nationwide protests against police brutality and racial injustice. Taylor was fatally shot in her home by police officers in a case that highlighted issues of racial profiling and police use of force, leading to widespread calls for systemic reform and justice.
