Quilts honoring George Floyd’s final words are on display in Boston for Juneteenth at @CongreLib.
“What does it mean to have something that gives you comfort…yet at the same time has the words of a dying man on them?”
In the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder, Rev. Mark Koyama knew he had to do something to help his community heal. Turning to what were among Floyd’s final words, “I can’t breathe,” Rev. Koyoma found a way to do that.
