Last July, as protests continued to be organized around the world in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd, Tom and I came across this graffiti on the façade of the Universite of Paris III on rue Censier in the 5th arrondissement.

The artwork remains in place today.

On Wednesday morning, in perusing Facebook after the announcement of the conviction of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in Floyd's murder, I found a post that pointed to the article cited below.

May the family of George Floyd find some measure of solace in the unanimous verdict of guilty on all charges in the Chauvin trial.

Rest in peace, George.
