The Breonna Taylor Lecture on Structural Inequality was established by the University of Louisville Brandeis School of Law in 2022 as an annual lecture series and tribute to the life of the Louisville woman who was killed in a police shooting in 2020. The 2024 lecturer was Damon Hewitt of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law.

At the lecture, the Brandeis School of Law also recognized the 2024 recipient of the Darryl T. Owens Community Service Award, the late Louisville attorney J. Michael Brown, and the law student recipients of the Breonna Taylor Legacy Fellowship. The Darryl T. Owens Community Service Award, named in honor of the groundbreaking Kentucky state representative, is presented to individuals who make a lasting impact and contribution to the Louisville community.

The Breonna Taylor Legacy Fellowship was awarded this year to second-year students McKenley Butler, Chearlise Stoudemire and Alexis Cammack. The fellowship was established in 2022 through a generous donation from artist Amy Sherald and is awarded to Brandeis School of Law students who show a dedication to social justice work in the legal field.
