In addition to COVID-19, 2020 was an historic year for civil rights movements like Black Lives Matter. Yet, because they take place in the same year, COVID certainly affected how protests were organised. While this poster advertises a peaceful protest, some of the space is used to explain COVID protocols while protesting. It's interesting how these historical events interact and intertwine with one another.
