Episode description

8 minutes and 46 seconds. That is how long Officer Derek Chauvin held his knee to George Floyd's neck.  No one could have imagined the level of outrage that sparked a revolution when George Floyd, a man from Minneapolis, Minnesota, was murdered by police during Memorial Day Weekend. As the world took to the streets in a united front for a call for justice, others found themselves protesting in other ways. We speak to Jonathan "Fro" Perry, a graffiti artist based in Bremerton, Washington who paid tribute to George Floyd and many others that died at the hands of police.  He speaks on why he painted the mural, his experiences with the police, and what it is to be a biracial man in America.
