MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Signs created by an area artist are appearing in northeast Minneapolis with the intent to stir conversation about the Minnesotans who’ve died at the hands of police and serve as a reminder that people are connected in ways they may not realize. I think that’s a big part of it, saying their name, realizing they were whole people and not just a story, said Witt Siasoco, a community-based artist. They were people who lived here.
It was a response to the murders of Black people in our city. Author: Charmaine Nero (KARE 11) Published: 6:42 PM CDT April 28, 2021 Updated: 6:42 PM CDT April 28, 2021
MINNEAPOLIS A lone sign that reads Terrence Franklin lived here - stands in an empty Northeast Minneapolis field. This sign is about Terrence Franklin, who was a neighbor of mine, says Witt Siasoco.
Siasoca is a community based artist, who once called Franklin a neighbor and a friend. For 13 years, I lived across the street and developed a relationship with Terrence and 8 years ago he was murdered by police in a South Minneapolis basement, he says.
Meshah Hawkins couldn’t believe that the man in the video who was facedown on the pavement, his neck pressed under the knee of a Minneapolis cop was her childhood friend George Floyd. Then she heard his voice. “Please,” the man begged the officer, as well as several others standing nearby. “Please, I can’t breathe.” Hawkins, sitting in her Houston home, was horrified. “When I heard his voice crying out,” she said, “when I heard the pain in his voice, it broke my heart.” She couldn’t bear to watch anymore, and she shut off the video taken on Monday.
