Artist's Project Description: Perspectives - Breonna Taylor's murder is a key example of Black Women being the "most disrespected, unprotected, and neglected" people in America. Thousands of people are demanding justice for Breonna and yet there has yet to be any. four members of the ATC Teen Ensemble; Aidan Nicholas(Brother), Katherine Bruce(Breonna), Shakyna Goplin(Mother/Tamika), and Antonio Allen(Boyfriend/Kenneth), wrote heart wrenching pieces exploring the pain & confusion that Breonna Taylor and those that were close to her may have felt the moments after her murder. Directed by Shakara Wright, together they explored the realities that many Black Americans are forced to face due to the police brutality.
