A note from the artist: "The way in which George Floyd was murdered stirred up some deep feelings, and I felt strongly that I needed to do something in response--my nephew, niece and other members of my family have died in needless and violent ways. This is, unfortunately, a common story in Indian country as well as in the Black community. These murals were my way of grieving. Many people contributed to the George Floyd mural. At last count, I figure at least 40 people did small and large contributions--from adding names of their relatives to bringing stencils."
The work was removed and relocated on June 23, 2020.
