Title
Cardboard placard reads "My arms are tired from holding this sign since the 1960's"
Description
The 2020 Black Lives Matter movement can be viewed as an extension of the civil rights movements of the 1960s, seen in both the US and UK. This humorous placard reminds us that the need for protest and demonstration still remains, despite the time that has passed.
