Margaret Kimberley · If Breonna Were White…

In an essay titled “Breonna’s Deathbed,” political prisoner Mumia Abu Jamal asks if the Louisville cops that killed Breonna Taylor would still be free if they had shot to death a white woman in her bedroom. Abu Jamal noted that Chicago Black Panther leader Fred Hampton was killed by police while asleep in his bed, December 4, 1969.
