“We thought that was very fitting to do a moment of recognition - not a moment of silence.” “We are dedicating this season to Breonna Taylor, an outstanding EMT who was murdered over 130 days ago in her home,” said New York Liberty player Layshia Clarendon, a member of the WNBA’s new Social Justice Council and the vice president of the Women's National Basketball Players Association. On Saturday, several WNBA players on the New York Liberty and Seattle Storm honored Taylor by wearing her name on their jerseys and staging a walkout during the national anthem before the game. Taylor’s killing has been a pivotal focus of the Black Lives Matter movement’s resurgence that has swept the nation following the death of George Floyd, who was also killed in police custody in May. I cry for justice in her name,” Oprah continued. And that is why Breonna Taylor is on the cover of O magazine. We have to use whatever megaphone we have to cry for justice. “What I know for sure: We can’t be silent. The magazine will also feature a conversation between Oprah and Taylor's mother, Tamika Palmer.
Plans for a future filled with responsibility and work and friends and laughter.” “And like everyone who dies unexpectedly, she had plans.
She was just like you,” Oprah writes, as previewed by the magazine. So far, none of the police officers involved have been charged with a crime. Taylor, a 26-year-old EMT, was shot and killed by police in her Louisville, Kentucky home on March 13. The cover is an artistic rendition of Taylor, created by Alexis Franklin, a 24-year-old digital artist. The magazine previewed the cover Thursday for the September issue, which will be available to download or buy on August 11. Oprah Winfrey will dedicate the cover of O Magazine to Breonna Taylor, marking the first time in 20 years that the co-founder would not be featured.
