HOUSTON (AP) — A street mural honoring George Floyd was unveiled Saturday in Houston along two blocks of the street that passes in front of Jack Yates High School, where Floyd was a student.
Floyd’s death last year in Minneapolis after being pinned to the ground under a white officer’s knee helped spark summer long protests against police brutality.
Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner called the mural “another public statement that the life and death of George Floyd is not in vain.”

The mural is to spell out “Black Lives Matter” with Floyd’s high school football jersey and the school mascot at either end.
