We Want Justice: Veronica Beard Store SOHO
Plywood covering the Veronica Beard storefront has been painted black and tagged with names, images, and text reading "I can't breathe." A poster with the portrait of a man (possibly Floyd) reads "We want justice; We want Peace; The Only Way." At the time of the photograph, the poster is damaged.

We Want Justice
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.
