Autorenporträt

Photojournalist Moses Woods takes you on a photograpic journey covering the impact Breonna Taylor's death had on Louisville, Kentucky. There were very intense moments with sounds ricocheting off the buildings like bombs exploding as armoured trucks fired tear gas to disperse the crowds. People screamed and were choking as they ran from police who fired tear gas and pepper balls into the crowd. Fires were set, windows were shattered, and the Hall of Justice was under attack as helicopters and police drones hovered over downtown Louisville. He included photos of Breonna Taylor's 1 yr. anniversary celebration as well.
