REMEMBERING GEORGE FLOYD

People gathered May 25-28, 2022 to commemorate the 2nd angelversary of George Floyd’s death. Others lost to police violence were remembered, and their families, who continue to push for change, were honored. Raycurt Johnson (left) and Butchy Austin (right) played music at Say Their Names Cemetery during the vigil on May 25. Reverend Jeanette Rupert spoke at the vigil, which was followed by a candlelit walk via the Mourning Passage along Chicago Ave. to the George Floyd Memorial. Once there, members of the Chicago Avenue Fire Arts Center did a bronze pour of a sankofa bird.
