Breonna’s Memorial Procession
Jefferson Square Park
Free  |  4 p.m.
It’s time for the Breonna Taylor Memorial, set up at Jefferson Square Park, to move indoors as cold weather comes to Louisville. Organizers are transporting the guerrilla art installation to Roots 101 African American Museum this weekend, and they want the community to be a part of it — just as they were in its creation. Demonstrators will carry the Memorial piece by piece to the museum in a New Orleans style procession. All are welcome, and participants are encouraged to bring their own art, decorated umbrellas, fancy clothes, stepping shoes, instruments, banners and more.
