“And still I rise. And still I rise in the name of liberty and justice for all. And still I rise in the name of justice for Breonna Taylor.

Or was her death a tragedy that was, in fact, a crime? And still I rise to address the issues associated with Breonna Taylor's death. First, let me simply say this: Breonna Taylor was a young woman. She was loved by many, especially those who were very close, such as her mom, who thought she was easy to love. She was a person who finished high school and attended college. We have heard none of the things that one might hear in cases such as these, because it is usually immediately published, the things about the person that are newsworthy with reference to their character. Her character has not been displayed in a negative way. So I rise today because Breonna Taylor was a 26-year-old African- American woman. Breonna Taylor was an innocent person in her home at the midnight hour. She was unarmed. She committed no crime.…”
