It also features the activist Tamika Mallory, who provides details of politicians and public officials (including the Mayor and Interim Police Chief of Louisville) who can be contacted.
At the end of the video, a host of figures from across the music and entertainment industries join Keys in asking: “Do you know what happened to Breonna Taylor?”
Among those included in the video are Snoh Aalegra, Willow Smith, Tinashe, Janelle Monáe, Willow Smith, Zoe Saldana, and Kelly Rowland.
