Acrostic Poem "Floyd"
Surrounded by flowers and other tributes at George Floyd square, an acrostic poem appears using “Floyd.” The vertical letting of “Floyd” is orange outlined in yellow and the following text emerging from “Floyd” are yellow. Reading top to bottom the poem reads: “From tragedy, Love must prevail, Our Cry..., Your tragedy, Demands, Change.” The word “change” breaks from the acrostic structure and this change is noted by the artist changing the text color to green. This poem was painted on the street directly next to where George Floyd was murdered. A red, velvet rope marks the sacred space where he died.

Angel George Floyd and Tanker at Protest on I-35
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.
An image of George Floyd in a white suit with angel wings and a halo. With a raised fist, he stands between protestors and a tanker truck that is bearing down on the crowd, referencing an event that occurred on May 31, 2020 I-35. Note that many protestors are wearing face masks in this image. Many individuals have signed this piece in a blank area.
