PIX 11 reports:
“The statue is one of three monuments by artist Chris Carnabuci that were unveiled in the park on Thursday. The ‘SeeInJustice’ art installation also includes statues of Breonna Taylor, who was shot and killed by Louisville police in March 2020, and Georgia Rep. John Lewis, the prominent civil rights leader who died last year.”
Floyd was killed in police custody while on drugs and resisting arrest on May 25, 2020. His death caused massive deadly riots across the nation.
This statue was also repainted in protest by a group called Patriot Front in June.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
