The images of Marcus Garvey, Carter G. Woodson, Booker T. Washington, and W.E.B Du Bois are on the mural.

One of the first murals in the city where George Floyd grew up was replaced with a work of art called Black Mount Rushmore.

The Creatives includes top painters and artists from the area. One of the murals on the popular establishment is one of former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Mrs. Obama.

Black history is more than a month old, and we are installing our latest statement to Black excellence, Black culture, leaders and innovators and the geniuses that helped form this country that often are overlooked and neglected.

The four men on the mural lived in the early 20th century and made contributions to Black life and culture. Garvey encouraged the return of African Americans to the motherland. Black History Week was created by Woodson and later became Black History Month.

Washington was the first president of the institute. One of the creators of the NAACP was Du Bois. He was the first black person to get a PhD.

Floyd was murdered by a former Minneapolis police officer just weeks after the mural was built. The changes that need to take place systemically so that people are not losing their lives at the hands of law enforcement who are sworn to protect and serve were reported by ABC13.

Adams and his team depicted Floyd with an American flag.

Floyd couldn't breathe because of his neck pressure, and the mask he is wearing is symbolic of the oppression that has been experienced by the African American community since we arrived in this country.
