Image of George Floyd projected over Confederate statue
https://www.localmemphis.com/mobile/article/news/nation-world/floyd-face-projected-confederate-monument/507-27098f96-5cac-44bb-bf67-8bf0ab05c568RICHMOND, Va. — As the effort to remove a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee rolls on in Richmond, Virginia, protesters have found a unique way to have their message be heard.
For several nights this week, an image of George Floyd has been projected on the base of the Lee statue in Richmond.
Protesters in several states have been advocating for the swift removal of Confederate statues, with or without the approval of authorities.
Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam last week ordered the statue of Lee to be taken down, citing the pain felt across the country over the death of George Floyd, a black man in Minneapolis, after a white police officer pressed a knee into his neck for several minutes.
Much more at link & amazing pix!
