Black Lives Matter Demonstrations and Protest Art

The purpose of the Triad Black Lives Matters Collection is to document the BLM movement, police brutality protests, and race relations in the Triad area of North Carolina, through materials contributed by the community. The collection contains digital photographs and video footage relating to the Black Lives Matter movement and the George Floyd protests. Collecting for the project is ongoing, and the archive is particularly interested in photographs, video, protest signs, clothing, flyers, posters, creative works, etc. Additionally, the archive would like to document local organizations involved with the movement. The material can be historic, originating with the founding of the movement, as well as current. Physical and digital material can be accepted into the collection. We are also currently gathering and adding documentation of the names of the artists who created the art featured in the documentary photos.
