Photo Story: Tribute to George Floyd in Barcelona

A woman takes a photo of a graffiti to pay a tribute to African American George Floyd, by urban artist TVBOY, in Barcelona, northeastern Spain.

A bystander’s video posted online on 25 May appeared to show the life of a 46-year-old African-American man, George Floyd, being cut short after Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin forcefully knelt on his neck for several minutes while Floyd pleaded that he couldn’t breathe.

The death sparked widespread protests in the US and around the world.
