A look at protest signs from across North Texas.

Throughout history, people have used art in the form of signs to express their beliefs and as commentary for protest. These signs can range from simple to complex, but all have the commonality of being used as a powerful tool to get a point across. Here are just a few of the signs used during the George Floyd protests across North Texas.
