Description
A handmade “Black Lives Matter” protest sign created during the May 2020 George Floyd protests in Minneapolis. The sign is made of cardboard and black marker and was used as part of a public demonstration. As a form of protest ephemera, it was not intended for long-term preservation and lacks formal authorship or publication context. The object represents an individual expression within a broader collective movement and highlights the challenges of documenting anonymous, temporary protest materials.
