Three grid photos adjusted to the left of the slide. The first photo is of three people standing with their backs to the camera, standing on a flooded street after the bursting of Goldie's Dam, 1929. The middle photo is of the Black Lives Matter solidarity march, from June 2020. Kween Gerber is leading the large group of people with her fist held in the air. The last image is a graphic of a coronavirus atom.
