3 Day Art Festival Oct 1, 2020: Black Lives Matter, Justice 4 George Floyd
Two plywood boards at a three day outdoor art festival on Payne Ave, St. Paul on Oct 1, 2020. The mural on the left includes a rainbow background with the Minneapolis skyline painted on top. In white letters from top to bottom covering the entire board is this poem:
Not the first murder nor the last
Storms that never seem to pass.
Taste of blood in my mouth as I
Breathe my last.
As I breathe AT last.
Rain pours from the sky to console
Those who can’t breathe from the
Smoke.
With tear gas in their throats
& Fire in their eyes.
Rain drops streak across the surface of their face, not to put
Out the fire in their eyes
But to disguise their tears.
As if almost to mean, Don’t
Let them see your tears but
Show them the depths of Hell
In your eyes!
The hell of countless crimes!
The hell of being tired countless
Times!
The hell that will result in their
Demise!
Black Lives Matter.
The board to the right has an unpainted background, but "Justice 4 George Floyd <3" (heart symbol) is painted in green and red letters.

3 Day Art Festival Oct 1, 2020: @Morgophone Protest Posters
This photo shows the exterior of a building. Plywood covers a window. Pieces of paper are stapled to the plywood and can be ripped off. The papers say a few different things. One of them says "I understand that I will never understand but I stand with you. Black lives matter" This was a common phrase that was shared on social media and in social media posts after George Floyd's murder in 2020. Other pieces of paper say "No Justice No Peace No Racist Police" which was a common chant at protests in Minneapolis/Saint Paul in the uprising and non-violent protests/gatherings.
These posters were being offered to the public for free.
