As Gianna Floyd, the daughter of the late George Floyd, so innocently said- “Daddy changed the world.” Yes, baby girl, change the world, he did.

While we have been marching, protesting, and hashtagging for years upon years against the injustices against Black and brown people, it seems that we finally have the world’s attention. So much so, cities across the nation (and even the world) are bringing even more awareness to the issues with larger than life murals.

We’ve rounded up some of the murals that have come across thus far. We’re sure this list will continue to grow over the coming days and weeks.

Headed by Black artist and muralist @dammitwesley, more than 17-Charlotte artists took to the streets of Uptown to create this larger-than-life piece honoring the Black Lives Matter movement. ” I didn’t choose this project, this project chose me,” Dammit Wesley told Travel Noire. “It is the culmination of me planting seeds in the artist community for years and finally reaping the benefits of collective efforts focusing on a common goal. This Black life not only matters but inspires.”

While this has been ground zero for many of the George Floyd protests, the city is also honoring the life of the late Breonna Taylor. Street artist Hiero created a piece with Taylor’s face in a campaign that he is calling “Spray their name.” His hope is that this artistic movement will pick up and continue all over. he has plans to create murals in other cities including Denver, LA, Miami, and NYC.

On June 9, the mural was painted across one of the city’s busiest streets, Lark Street. This is also one of the city’s more diverse neighborhoods, which was a strategic move asked of by the group.

A letter from my pop, Timothy Bluitt Sr. ——————————— My Salute.!! Let’s take this moment to realize that we are part of history. I think I can speak for all of us when I say that this is history never witnessed before. As we’re able to watch the many layers of racism and it’s tolerances being stripped away right in front of our very eyes. It has finally reached a "tipping point." A tipping point after all these years of watching, as well as listening to some of our elders describe the past in nondescriptive ways to what’s going on right now. This symbolizes a great change taking place. ————————————————- To me, a movement fueled by the many multi-race of youth, with eyes 👀 that have opened up from seeds re-planted by a culture no one saw coming. A culture that grew without senseless hate but with a consciousness of pain and acknowledgment of the injustice displayed by a corrupt system ruled by the old regime known to be the authors of systemic hate. A culture that’s now fed up with the evil and racist practices of a corrupt government. We are witnessing change for “African Americans”. —————————————————- I’m taking this moment to salute the young energy that defies all odds! That’s demanding to be heard! I’m not saluting the opportunist seeking monetary gain from the pain of those front lining this movement. But the young Black, Hispanic and Whites whose voices came together to get all four of the cowards who murdered with badges of authority arrested! We are witnessing history unfold with revolutionary tentacles from the ideology of our brothers and sisters who tried to fight the good fight beforehand. Yet, leading us to this moment! So I ask for us all to stand up and be grateful that you were alive to see this day!! #GiveThanks Written by Timothy Bluitt.

A mural of George Floyd has joined countless others on one of the world’s most famous canvases for political graffiti: the separation wall. Built almost 20 years ago in the occupied West Bank, the wall has been painted on from artists across the world, including anonymous street artist Banksy. Today, it is filled with images of everyone from Ahed Tamimi, a Palestinian girl jailed for slapping an Israeli soldier, and Razan al Najjar, a paramedic nurse killed by an Israeli sniper during a protest in Gaza. ⁣ ⁣ A variety of other satirical portraits are also depicted on the barrier. A long-standing image of President Donald Trump with a speech bubble that read, “I’m going to build you a brother,” is depicted in reference to his campaign to build a wall along the US-Mexico border. The wall is also full of slogans and references to political events.⁣ ⁣ The wall, which cuts deep into Palestinian land, imposes severe restrictions on movement, schools and farmland. In 2004, an International Court of Justice advisory opinion called the wall illegal, but Israel rejects this and argues it is necessary to protect its citizens.

Who would have thought Italy would have been down with the Black Lives Matter movement? In a piece portraying Nina Simone as the Virgin Mary, someone wrote: “We Can’t Breathe”.

The original piece did not feature the hashtag, but when posted nearly two weeks ago on Instagram, it was posted with the caption: “My solidarity with the protests of these days” in Italian.
