LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Jefferson Square Park, more commonly referred to by activists as Injustice Square Park, has been the home to the Breonna Taylor memorial for months now.

With winter approaching, the memorial will soon be moved indoors to the Roots 101 African American History Museum in Louisville.

“We’ve been involved in the protests as a museum because we know that protest is a part of progress for people of color. It has been historically,” Roots 101 founder and CEO Lamont Collins said.

The museum was set to open earlier this year, but it was delayed because of challenges brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. Exhibits in this new Museum Row attraction, showcase African American history.

“The cool thing about it being at this museum is it being on Museum Row. We are telling the story where stories have always been told but did not include African American stories, so that alone is powerful," Collins said.

He said Taylor's death has opened up many wounds in the community. Collins said a goal of Roots 101 is to be a place for healing.

“We call ourselves a healing space because we can tell our story along with the story of what we contributed to America. Now we can deal with the supremacy, the history, and the injustices. Now we can talk about the history of those things and pull them back to heal from the true knowledge of what it takes to make the world better," Collins said.

The plan is to march the memorial from Jefferson Square Park to Roots 101 Saturday at 4 p.m. Roots 101 is not open to the public yet, but Collins said he hopes to open later this month.
