"Floyd" Surrealist Throw Up
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.
Round letter throw up reading "Floyd" with green shading. Black text around work reads "Love Each Other," "MPLS," "StP," "Say His Name," "Justice 4 George," and "1" with a heart.

Blues for George
A mural on the exterior of the Springboard for the Arts building in Saint Paul, MN. A plywood mural with a white background. A blue "blues for george" (George Floyd portrait stencil) is on the right. Blue letters on the left spell out: " Say His Name". The background on the left is a white and grey checkered background. Someone has written in black marker "Long Live C---laou(?)" (illegible) "Justice 4 Ryan G" "BLM!" It is unclear if these messages are part of the original mural or if they were added later. This piece was created with permission during a paint event hosted by Springboard for the Arts.
This piece was scanned by KBK on Oct 2, 2020.
KBK: ""Blues for George" was the title someone at Springboard for the Arts used in reference to this mural specifically. I do not know if that is its official name, but I will use it for now."
