George Floyd: a leader in his community

At Cuney Homes, the oldest low-income housing community in Houston, George Floyd is remembered as someone who motivated friends and peers to use music and sports as a way out of poverty. His murder, by a Minneapolis police officer one year ago, ignited a national movement against systemic racism. Now, his face can be found on murals all over Houston and in cities across the United States, demanding: Black Lives Matter. Six of Floyd’s friends and relatives remember him and the impact he had on their lives.

This emblematic mural, on the wall of Scott Food Mart, was painted after George Floyd’s death. It sits in front of one of the houses where he lived with his mother in Houston, TX.
