CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Thursday marks two years since Keith Scott was shot and killed by Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officer Brentley Vinson. His death sparked days of protests, and Vinson was cleared of any wrongdoing.
- The Levine Museum of the New South opened K(NO)W Justice K(NO)W Peace last year
- It's a community-created exhibit about the shooting and other police-involved shootings throughout the nation
- The exhibit will remain open indefinitely but they're exploring other ways to preserve it
The Levine Museum of the New South opened K(NO)W Justice K(NO)W Peace, a community-created exhibit about this shooting and other police-involved shootings throughout the nation last year.

The exhibit was initially slated for a six-month run but it’s been extended twice because of community demand.
President and CEO for the Levine Museum Kathryn Hill believes that's because the community wants to keep the conversation going.
“We're not letting this go, we're not done, we haven't solved the problem, we're not comfortable. Thank heavens we haven't swept this under the rug, we need to keep talking about this,” said Hill.
Image activist Alvin C. Jacobs, Jr. said it’s been a meaningful experience showing his work in this space.
“I couldn't be more proud but more humble because I didn't have an idea of what this work was going to be and Charlotte needed it, and North Carolina needs it, and clearly the United States of America still needs it and that's why we're still here,” said Jacobs.
Museum staff said K(NO)W Justice K(NO)W Peace will remain open indefinitely but they are also exploring other ways to preserve the exhibit either online or transforming it into a traveling exhibit.
