Title
Reverse side of a cardboard placard which reads "we are not anti-police we're anti police brutality"
Description
This striking placard illustrates the violence experienced by Black people in the USA, particularly that at the hands of the police. While challenging to look at, it is a stark reminder of the reality for many people who do not feel safe in the presence of the police.
Date
2020
Location
The People's Story
This placard was collected by Museums & Galleries Edinburgh following the Black Lives Matter protest held in Holyrood Park on Sunday 7th June 2020. It is part of a wider collection of placards, banners and signs from the protest, expressing solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement.
