George Floyd in his native Houston, Texas was defaced with the words “n ers lives don’t matter” over the man’s face.

A mural of George Floyd in his hometown of Houston was vandalized with a racist message this week, police said – the third time the artwork has been defaced since its creation following Floyd s killing last Memorial Day.
Police Chief Troy Finner said Thursday some knucklehead defaced the mural, which shows an image of Floyd on a colorful background alongside the words I can t breathe. I don’t know what their motivation is, if it’s hate or whatever, Finner said, adding, Let me tell you something, and I want everybody to understand – ignorant people with bad hearts and bad motivations, do not give them the power.

It s just wrong | Houston artist paints over racist graffiti on his George Floyd mural
One of the many murals honoring the memory of Houston native George Floyd was defaced overnight with racist graffiti. Author: Michelle Homer Updated: 4:50 PM CDT April 22, 2021
HOUSTON Someone defaced one of the many Houston murals dedicated to George Floyd, who grew up in the Third Ward. The vandal or vandals wrote “N lives don’t matter” in red letters over Floyd’s face.
As word spread, the hate speech was quickly covered up by the artist who created the mural. As a human, it s just wrong to do something like that; knowing that we re healing and knowing that we re in pain as a community, Anguilu said. As a person of color myself . I understand hate, but I also learned to navigate and deal with it in a different way and for me, that is art.
