When George Floyd was murdered by Minneapolis police, the Minnesota African American Heritage Museum and Gallery (MAAHMG) posted a call to action on social media seeking artists to curate a mural in front of the museum in the historic Black neighborhood on Minneapolis' Northside to affirm that Black Lives Matter. Sixteen artists answered the call, and spent one day painting the mural, which became a symbol of solidarity, hope and healing for the community and those fighting for racial justice. This is a story about how art can be used to record history and be a catalyst for change
