The titles of this book is the typically news that appears on live streaming platforms and TV broadcasts during scheduled commercial breaks where local or targeted ads fail to load.

This is what appeared on American television in the coverage of the events of May 25, 2020, in Minneapolis, when Derek Chauvin, a white police officer, pressed his knee against George Floyd’s neck for 9 minutes and 29 seconds. Floyd was suspected of making a purchase with a counterfeit $20 bill—an offense that would cost him his life by suffocation. The images of this brutal murder quickly spread and sparked widespread protests across America, with millions of people taking to the streets. It was a bomb that had been brewing for years and exploded in the wake of George Floyd’s death—not only for justice in his case but also because of the many years of abuse and killings. An excellent book with a bold design.
