Racial Injustice George Floyd Exhibition
Jeanelle Austin, director of the George Floyd Global Memorial, pauses during the installation of "Twin Flames: The George Floyd Uprising from Minneapolis to Phoenix," at Arizona State University Art Museum, Friday, Jan. 12, 2024, in Tempe, Ariz. For months after George Floyd was killed by police in May 2020, people from around the world traveled to the site of his murder in Minneapolis and left signs, paintings and poems to memorialize the man whose death reignited a movement against systemic racism. Now hundreds of those artifacts are being displayed at an exhibit at the Arizona State University Art Museum.
