In this June 30, 2017, photo, Shetamia Taylor, second from right, stands in the area in Dallas where she was shot July 7, 2016, during a sniper attack at a Black Lives Matter protest, as she recounts the story to her sons, JaJavn Washington, from left, Jermar Washington and Kavion Washington. Police officers quickly shielded her from more incoming rounds after she was struck by a bullet. A year later, her wound has largely healed, but the trauma inflicted on Taylor’s family still lingers. She hopes her experience as a black woman whose life was saved by police at a Black Lives Matter protest helps bridge the racial gap that separates many police officers and black Americans.
