A new memorial exhibit will open in San Diego Saturday that honors dozens of Black Americans who lost their lives interacting with police or who were victims of hate crimes.
People can peruse dozens of pedestals with portraits and short biographies of Black people who were victims of systemic racism, organizers said. The portraits will be decorated with flowers, and lights will shine on each name at night.
Gaidi Finnie, chairman of the African American Museum of Fine Arts’ board of directors, brought the exhibit to San Diego after it had been shown in some 30 cities around the country. He said the exhibit is not a protest but a memorial for the lives lost.
