8.46 by Nolan Mancl
To say that I was outraged by the death of George Floyd would be an egregious understatement. It awakened something in me, and I realized I could no longer remain silent about the oppression people of color face daily in my own backyard. For days, I pondered how I could best use my privilege and resources to amplify the voices of my Black brothers and sisters, as well as those fighting systemic racism and police brutality alongside them. I turned to music and created "8.46" using samples from protests around the US.
I will donate 100% of my share of any money this piece generates to organizations that support the Black Lives Matter movement, including the Black Lives Matter Global Network and the NAACP.
BLACK LIVES MATTER.
