Edmonds community restores 'I Can't Breathe' installation after vandalism
A new art installation in Edmonds, symbolizing a cry for justice was vandalized, just one week after it was created.
”It's to be expected. I think, I was definitely expecting some backlash,” said Christabel Jamison, the artist behind the "I Can't Breathe" art installation.
Jamison is not letting the message behind her art installation get lost, just one day after someone blacked out the "T" in the phrase, "I Can't Breathe," installed on a fence across from the Edmonds Police Station.
Those words have been a longtime rallying cry for the Black Lives Matter movement. Those words were among the last that George Floyd said before he was killed by a police officer in Minneapolis during an arrest earlier this year. Floyd's death sparked international protests calling for racial justice and an end to police brutality.
