In Germany, George Floyd's Death Sparks Protests — And Artwork That Honors His Life
Before most of it was torn down, artists considered the Berlin Wall one of the largest canvases in the world.

Freethinker, based in Berlin, painted Floyd the day after the video of Floyd's death surfaced and spread on social media.
Sudha David-Wilp, deputy director of the Berlin office of the German Marshall Fund, says Germans have had a mixed reaction to Floyd's death and the U.S. protests.
But at least in Berlin, many are showing solidarity by taking it to the streets — and the wall.
