Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is donating one of Arsenal’s Black Lives Matter tribute shirts, worn by himself during the current season, to The Museum of London.
According to Evening Standard, ongoing Collecting COVID project is the reason the talented player is donating his shirt to the museum.
Moreso, this gesture is a form of documentation of the Black Lives Matter protests that took place in London earlier this year.
Following anti-racism protests across the world, the Black Lives Matter logo was added to all Premier League shirts when the season re-started this summer.
According to the Museum of London, the development aims to ensure that this social movement is documented in its permanent collection as part of Collecting COVID.
Another important role Aubameyang’s donation has played is to show the vital role that football can play in delivering important social messages to a global audience.
