Description This piece of graphic design artwork features the slogan 'We Can't Breathe' of the Black Lives Matter Movement. The slogan's origin can be found in the murder of George Floyd by four police officers on May 25th, 2020 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. George Floyd's last words were "I can't breathe" as he was brutally pinned down by the police officers. These words became one of the most powerful slogans of the Black Lives Matter Movement as protests against racism and police brutality broke out across the country in 2020.  Date Created2020
