Chalk Wall with George Floyd Tribute and Community Messages
Plywood panels covered in chalkboard paint have chalk messages from bottom to top. Messages include "We Portland will be the change," "Portland Fallen!" "PPB," "White Supremacy," and "MAMA."
A plain panel covers some of the messages. Said panel has "BLM" and other graffiti on it.
A large portrait of George Floyd in chalk is the the right. Beyond the portrait are plain panels with buffs and painted text reading "Your store can re replace a life." and a cardboard sign reading "Where is Melissa Hooks?!!"

Jordan Edwards Tribute
Two squares on a black background. The left square has text reading "Jordan Edwards. Jordan was a kind spirited, positive, and upbeat kid. He was always ready to go early for practice, so excited to play, excited about life. His parents worked hard to provide a ____ peaceful life full of love. While leaving a teenage house party, police shot Jordan. They killed an UNARMED child without even a thought. HIS LIFE MATTERED."
The right square has a portrait of Jordan. Between the squares is a panel with names of well-known victims of police. Flowers frame the whole work.
