I Can't BreathE...

The horrifying and tragic death of George Floyd would change the world and expose white supremacy in it’s worst form. George Floyd was killed at the hands of on duty Police officers. Publicly pleading for his life while bystanders were helpless to assist, there only form of assistance was to record his struggle to breath. His death would trigger a world wide protest and the creation of #BlackLivesMatter. Nanaimo African Heritage Society moved to action a peaceful protest and outpouring of emotion.
