Queen City Creatives React to the Death of George Floyd
- /
On May 25, 2020, George Floyd was killed after being pinned to the ground by three Minneapolis police officers for nearly 9 minutes.
In the week since, protests have occurred all across the nation and globe to lament the death of George Floyd, promote the Black Lives Matter movement, and call for reform in police departments of the United States that are plagued with systematic racism.
The Twin Cities. New York City. Washington D.C. Chicago. Atlanta. Baltimore. Seattle. Los Angeles. Raleigh. Charlotte. Every corner of the country is filled with communities that are hurting. Communities who want their voices heard. Communities who need their voices heard.
We want to use our platform to help amplify those voices in any way we can, especially here in Charlotte. Over the past few days, we’ve seen an awe-inspiring amount of moving artwork, powerful photographs, images and thought-provoking words from creatives in the Queen City. And we want to share some with you.
