Three Throw Ups: George, RIP, Floyd
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.

Take A Look At Yourself
A black-and-white portrait of George Floyd on plywood outside of a business. The portrait is stylized to be more abstract and haunting than hyperrealistic, but because it is such a recognizable photo Floyd is easily identified. His black hooded sweatshirt is replaced with the motif of the United States American flag. The words "TAKE A LOOK AT YOURSELF" are written beneath the portrait with spray paint.

Wash Your Hands / R.I.P. George
A small flyer from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) reads "Wash Your Hands" in bold red font. The text is surrounded by translations of the sentence in black font in Swahili, German, French, Khmer, Laotian, Oromo, Somali, Hebrew, Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese (Mandarin), Ojibwe, KaRen, Nepali, Korean, Hindi, and Russian.
The flyer at first glance appears to have fallen by mistake, but is now part of the memorial composed by the public in tribute to George Floyd at the intersection that he was murdered at outside of Cup Foods in South Minneapolis. The memorial includes objects such as flowers, stuffed animals, seashells, handmade crafts, handwritten notes, and potted plants.

Artists for George
A memorial to George Floyd at the intersection of his murder at 38th and Chicago in South Minneapolis surrounded by potted plant, stuffed animals and cut flower bouquets. A cardboard sign reads in black Sharpie lettering "Artists for George." Behind the foreground, other memorials and chalk drawings are visible nearby. A flowerbed, painted black, reads "No Justice No Peace" in bold white painted lettering.
The photographer stood outside of Cup Foods in order to take this image. Cup Foods was the corner store that had called the police to accuse Floyd of attempting to make a purchase with a counterfeit bill, ultimately leading to the fatal confrontation that resulted in his death.
