George Floyd Mural
This mural was photographed on the western side of Portobello Beach in Edinburgh, Scotland. The mural is centered on George Floyd's name next to a tombstone with RIP and his date of death. The mural includes the names of two of the police officers involved in the arrest and murder of George Floyd. Their names sit above images of pigs with crossed out eyes (presumably representing dead police officers) along with the acronym ACAB (all cops are bastards).
This wall previously had anti-racist graffiti in opposition to the treatment of refugees by the British government, though most of the examples of street art on the wall are tags.

Ifrah Mansour
Cedar Cultural Center.
From the artist "Ifrah Mansour, a local multimedia artist and black Muslim refugee created a Mural version of her Somali hut installation series. She wanted to address the multidimensional experience of being black in America. Immigrant blacks are both allies and as co-strugglers facing police brutality and racism. But we must recognize the historic pain that blacks and indigenous folks carry as we fight for our liberation. This is why Assata Shakur’s quote was chosen to show our inner connectedness towards our liberations."
