A mural honouring George Floyd was recently revealed outside his former high school.
The two-block mural is located directly in front of Jack Yates High School in Houston, TX.
Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man, died in May 2020 after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck.
“We come to celebrate the life and legacy of our hometown hero, Mr. George Floyd,” Carl Davis, chairman for the Houston Society for Change, said during the dedication ceremony.
