Since millions took to the streets in the past month to protest against police brutality and racism, and the coronavirus crisis has forced us all to wear masks for the past three months (minus white folks protesting against protecting their lives), one way to fuse the two has been with masks that proudly state that “Black Lives Matter.”
Just recently, an employee at a Publix supermarket in Lehigh Acres, Fla., claims he quit his job being told he wouldn’t be allowed to wear his mask to work.
According to The Hill, Publix, who sent a staff email denouncing racism around the same time of the incident and announced they would be donating $1 million to National Urban League affiliates, issued a statement addressing Demamour’s situation.
In an interview with an ABC-7 affiliate earlier this month, Desamours said that “many, many employees have different designs on their masks.”
