"Big Floyd!" and "BLM" Throw-ups
George Perry Floyd (October 14, 1973 - May 25, 2020) was a 46-year-old Black American man who was murdered by former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin after Chauvin knelt on Floyd’s neck for nearly 9 minutes in the Powderhorn neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota on May 25, 2020. Floyd’s murder sparked an international movement for Black Lives Matter, the largest civil rights movement of the century. On March 12, 2021, the city of Minneapolis agreed to pay $27 million to settle a wrongful death lawsuit brought by Floyd's family. On June 25, 2021, Chauvin was sentenced to 22.5 years in prison for his crimes.
Two throw-ups covering previous messages.
"BIG.." in black bubble letters with a white and red outline, and "FLOYD!" in red bubble letters with black shading and yellow accents. The words "Stand With You!" have been partially covered.
A brown "BLM" with a red bubble background is to the right of the first piece.

"I Can't Breathe!"
A chalk drawing on pavement, surrounded by memorial flowers and other memorabilia in tribute to George Floyd. The chalk drawing is of a figure, face down on the concrete. Outlined in a neutral tone, the figure's form is established with blue chalk and accented with white. Laying flat on their chest, the figure's legs extend straight behind them. Neutral tones sprout a halo of light around the figure's head, while wings extend out from their shoulders. Four prayer candles line the figure's halo. At the figure's feet, bold lettering reads in fully capitalized text: "I Can't Breathe, I Can't Breathe".
Just beyond the lettering, a white painted wicker stool provides a seat for spectators to pause for a moment. Alongside the stool, a sign painted to look like a section from a brick wall reads in white lettering: "A man who uses force is afraid of reasoning."
The photographer stood outside of Cup Foods in order to take this image. Cup Foods is the corner store that called the police to accuse Floyd of attempting to make a purchase with a counterfeit bill, ultimately leading to the fatal confrontation that resulted in his death.
