Letter B in Black Lives Matter
by Andy Bellomo & Chi Nwosu
The design found in this letter focuses on the time, energy, and hard work of Black and Brown people in this country. We chose colors which we feel reflect interconnectivity, movement, vitality, and life. Our design expresses the power of communities coming together to accomplish the most important goal: creating positive and permanent social justice.
