This digital quilt was completed on the day of George Floyd's funeral in Houston Texas on 9 June 2020, sixteen days after his murder by Minneapolis police on 25 May 2020. Today also marks fifteen straight days of global protests against police brutality and in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. This article chronicles memories by family and friends and paints a picture of who George Floyd was, "Knowing my brother is to love my brother," https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/27/us/george-floyd-trnd/index.html
This project is a collaboration created by students, alumni, faculty, and staff of the Tompkins Cortland Community College community. The project's creative director is Christine J. Shanks, graphic design program chair. The quilts are 20 x 40 inches and are made up of 5x5 inch squares surrounding a 10x10 inch central square. Some squares in the quilt are collaborative, artists and designers helped others convey their message visually.
All participants can add to their resume that the collection of quilts will be in The History Center in Tompkins County's permanent archive and participants in the first quilt can add that their work is on permanent exhibit in the center's research library. For more resume information please see the BLM Resume Information page.
