Oprah Winfrey Sets Up 26 Billboards Outside Louisville, Kentucky for Breonna Taylor

Source: People

After featuring Taylor on the cover of the September issue of O, The Oprah Magazine — which hits newsstands on Aug. 11 —Winfrey, 66, is also erecting dozens of billboards around Louisville, Kentucky, demanding justice for the young woman who was killed at the hands of police back in mid-March.

The billboards feature the same image of Taylor used for the Oprah-owned magazine cover and demand that the police involved in the killing of Taylor be arrested and charged. The billboards also feature a URL for the social justice organization website UntilFreedom.com and a quote from Winfrey, saying, "If you turn a blind eye to racism, you become an accomplice to it."

Until Freedom announced that the billboards are going up around the city where Taylor lived and a total of 26 billboards will be put up, one for every year of her life.

The billboard installations began on Thursday and will be completed by Monday, according to local news station WLKY.

It’s the first time that Oprah herself isn’t the cover of her own magazine.
