Injustice Anywhere Is A Threat To Justice Everywhere

2020
Not on view
Mass protests against systemic racial injustice took hold internationally in response to the murder of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police on May 25, 2020. Along with countless artists across the globe, the staff at the Center for Book Arts—a New York–based organization dedicated to the book as an art object—printed and distributed posters for use in the protests. This poster quotes Martin Luther King Jr. in calling for universal justice.
