A new exhibit documenting the local Black Lives Matter movement is open for virtual viewing at the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art.
The exhibit is titled We All Bleed, and is hosted in collaboration with the nonprofit R.A.C.E. Matters SLO.

The installation includes black and white pictures of the 2020 marches taken by photographer Richard Fusillo, as well as audio clips of local Black activists talking about their experiences.
