All Mothers Were Summoned When He Called Out For His
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.

Too Many of You
On a fully black background, a white profile of a person with an afro is overlaid with stylized, fully-capitalized bubble lettering that reads "Mother, Mother there's too many of you crying // Brother, brother, brother, there's too many of you dying". The artist's signature, Ms.Wrong, is in the lower right corner of the mural.

The text is derived from the 1971 Marvin Gaye song "What's Going On"
