Advocates in Minneapolis have been working to preserve hundreds of pieces of 2020 protest art to ensure that George Floyd and the movement he sparked are not forgotten.

The Minneapolis group Memorialize the Movement is preserving more than 1,000 murals made after George Floyd's murder.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Some things have changed for the better in Minneapolis since Memorial Day 2020, when a police officer murdered George Floyd. Some have not. Sunday marked five years since white Officer Derek Chauvin used his knee to pin the Black man’s neck to the pavement for 9 1/2 minutes, leading to his death.

Five years after the mass protests of 2020, the LAPD's aggressive handling of demonstrations remains controversial — and costly.

Floyd, a Black man, was killed May 25 when a white police officer pressed his knee on Floyd’s neck for about 9½ minutes while Floyd was handcuffed and pleading that he couldn’t breathe. Four police officers who were involved in Floyd’s arrest were fired, and one was convicted of manslaughter.
