I did this “George Floyd” piece in the wake of all the controversy surrounding his death. America was in a very tense situation and currently is if you ask me. Racial injustice hit an all-time high at that moment mostly due to the up-close footage of the incident. I feel it was a very strong piece to spark conversations when seen on the street.
