George Floyd, who robbed a woman at gunpoint and died of a drug overdose while being restrained by police, is being “remembered” in the place that his supporters looted in the days following his accidental death.

The Minneapolis community came together Saturday to remember George Floyd’s life and legacy.

The ‘Rise and Remember’ festival attracted hundreds of people to George Floyd Square.

“I like the way the community is together,” said Orlando Matthews, visiting from New Orleans with his son. “You see people from all sorts of places.”

People from all over the country are here to visit the memorial, including Matthews.

George Floyd Square has attracted a lot of people from all over the country. Generally, they came to steal things. But after being trashed, the businesses are just trying to cash in on George Floyd enthusiasts who aren’t burning things.

Perez and dozens of others began painting the plywood boards used to protect buildings during the unrest.

Many themes were about Floyd and social justice.

That’s why the plywood was there.

The George Floyd Global Memorial now has about 200 pieces of what organizers call ‘protest art’ —collected from George Floyd Square, now on display at the Chicago Avenue Fire Arts Center.

Until a new round of looting and burning properly honors George Floyd’s legacy by setting them on fire.
