Say My Name
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.
Portrait of George Floyd with "BLM" pattern in the background. "SAY MY NAME" to Floyd's right.
This piece covered a large tag that read "George 5/25/20 RIP." The artist later apologized for putting this piece up.
To the left of the piece are panels with "With You...," "Justice 4," and Say His Name" with an arrow pointing toward what the new piece covered.
Around the corner is a tag reading "Justice for Floyd."
