At least 300 people on the march down Central Ave
The group has walked up Racine Ave and is met by a closed gate
Walking around the track now. Lots of law enforcement agents looking out from inside the gates
Chant: “I don’t see a riot here so why are you in riot gear.”

Inside Churchill Downs, a moment of silence for “inequity.”

Outside, chants of #BreonnaTaylor
Two fences and a line of police are now preventing protesters from getting closer to the track
“The sun will go down. The Derby will go away. The decision will come out. Then what happens? I am excited, but I need people to keep going. I need this momentum to continue.” - Marian Vasser, executive director of diversity and equity at the University of Louisville
The Derby is over. People are still marching.
On the way back to South Central Park

THREAD: Today, @courierjournal published Beyond Breonna, a series on systemic racism and how Louisville can end it.

It was spurred by the death of Breonna Taylor. But these issues have existed for generations. People are tired of the same conversations.

courier-journal.com/in-depth/news/…
As @FBruceWilliams said: "It kills me when people ask, 'Well, what do you want?' ... Why is it so difficult for people to believe (a Black community) wants for its residents the same opportunities, services, convenience and quality in their neighborhood?"

courier-journal.com/in-depth/news/…
The series covers disparities in health, education, housing, employment and criminal justice.

We start with health because Black people are dying younger in Louisville - from homicides, chronic illnesses and now the coronavirus.

A few hundred people have gathered at Tyler Park for a march organized by @MurphyCartoons. Many here are attending a march for the first time since protests for Breonna Taylor began May 28
“If the president says to white nationalists ‘stand down and stand by,’ we say today ‘stand up and stand with,’” @MurphyCartoons
Trying to upload a few videos but not having luck at the moment. Hopefully they’ll go through soon

I've been covering Breonna Taylor protests in Louisville with @HayesGardner for several months and I really don't want this point to be lost:

Black people here - especially women - are deeply sad. They saw themselves in Breonna. They didn't want to let her down. 1/
Yesterday I saw women who I've formed strong professional relationships with break down, unable to speak. I heard distress and anger in their voices and watched them still work to calm tensions so that destruction would not occur. 2/
Through the night, fires were set outside the Hall of Justice. 127 people were arrested. Two police officers were shot. Those facts and images will likely lead national news reports and coverage. 3/

At least 150 people in the intersection of 6th and Broadway in Louisville following the announcement that just one of 3 officers will be indicted in the Breonna Taylor case
The anger here is palpable. Protesters knew this was a possibility. But now that the decision is here, frustrations are clearly boiling over

.@louisvillemayor addressing the Breonna Taylor case now.

"I do not know what the decision from the AG will be. What is important is that all the facts come out on what occurred on the night of Breonna Taylor's death."
"No matter what Attorney General Cameron announces, I urge everyone to commit once again to a peaceful, lawful response like we've seen for the majority of the past four months." @louisvillemayor
Curfew announced from 9 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in Louisville in response to announcement in Breonna Taylor case.

About 20 people protesting now at Mitch McConnell’s home in Louisville. They’re here to speak against the Senate Majority Leader’s statement on the death of Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Image
A lot of cars are honking as they pass.

One neighbor came out onto his porch.

“If we shout, we’ll shout that way.” A woman in a Ginsberg shirt said.

“Shout all you want,” the neighbor replied
Make that Ginsburg 🤦‍♀️
