The fight to get justice for Breonna Taylor is far from over and Oprah Winfrey's doing her part. O and her O Mag team are further amplifying Breonna Taylor's story by erecting 26 billboards across her hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, beginning August 6. Each billboard, one for each year of her tragically short life, features Breonna with a call to action that reads; "Demand that the police involved in killing Breonna Taylor be arrested and charged.
