I Can Breathe Now
George Floyd, I Can't Breathe, Say Their Names
A large mural with the image of George Floyd at the center, flanked by text reading "George Floyd." The letters are filled with small figures seen with fists raised in protest. Behind Floyd's head is a large sunflower. At the center of the sunflower there is text reading "Say Our Names" followed by the names of others who were killed in acts of police violence.

Justice for George
A portrait of George Floyd with enormous angel wings is set against a pink background with the Minneapolis skyline in silhouette. A quote from Angela Davis is written across the span of the wings: "In a racist society, it is not enough to be non-racist. we must be anti-racist." Below is text reading "Justice for George."
