Artists beautify boarded-up storefronts in wake of George Floyd protests

• Pastor Peter Wohler, executive director of Source MN in Minneapolis, believes the murals help "combat visual signs of violence that the charred storefronts ... represent," The Star Tribune writes.

In Minneapolis, where Floyd died, 20–30 artists from an array of backgrounds received thousands of dollars in donations to support their efforts to paint murals across the city,

• The artists are focusing on painting stores run by people of color to support the community.
• Some artists are working anonymously to paint murals.
