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?!!"

La Justice Pour George
This painted mural appeared on the plywood-covered storefront of a private French language program, Cou Cou. The mural proclaims, "La Justice Pour George" and "Say Their Names," with several names of people killed by police locally and nationally. The mural features an abstracted face, three fists, and a flying bird. The work is signed by @sotalettersco and may have been commissioned by Cou Cou Minneapolis.

Miffy's Balloon - There is Always Hope!
Bare plywood panels with a painted Dutch character named Miffy watching a red heart-shaped balloon. To the right is "There is ALWAYS Hope!" in red paint. Again, to the right is a taped up sheet with "Black Lives Matter" written on it.
From the contributor: "My wife and I went downtown to photograph the protest art as we knew that it would not last (for a variety of reasons). The military was still on the streets, a curfew was still in place, and police were still assaulting innocent protestors. Columbus is the capitol of Ohio, so much of this was around the capitol building."
