On Friday we introduced you to Belizean-American artist Cadex Herrera, the man who had a hand in the painting of the George Floyd mural that's quickly becoming an icon of the Black Lives Matter movement. It's a big achievement for an artist who grew up drawing inspiration from magazines at The Benque Viejo Library and drawing every day even when finding paper was a struggle. He spoke to Cherisse Halsall from Minneapolis via Zoom videoconference earlier today.
You can have your opportunity to march in solidarity for the Black Lives Matter cause by joining in the Belize Peaceful Black Lives Matter Protest set to be held on Thursday, June 11th just outside the grounds of the US Embassy. The Peaceful Protest is set to take place from 8:00 in the morning to 4:46 in the evening, an hour for every minute that Floyd endured suffocation.
