New York Three bronze busts depicting the late Congressman John Lewis, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd have been placed in New York's Union Square as part of Confront Art's inaugural"SEEINJUSTICE" exhibition.
The statues, created by Chris Carnabuci, stand 10 feet tall on platforms and"honor the lives and ongoing messages through art, tying together three iconic people," Confront Art said in a press release. A bust of George Floyd at a"Seeinjustice" event Confront Art said the"series is inspired by the events of 2020 and has empowered many to take a stand in demanding justice," echoing the late congressman's ethos.
Wouldn’t the statues eventually rust
Floyd was a crim only in America could you have a fkn statue of a crim
What’s the title of the display… Civil Rights Activist and the Two Felons he Fought For
Really make a Criminal a HERO. Wow this Country going down hill. So that means all Cops, Fireman, and all Military ppl are criminal. This is so who's pathetic. I never thought I see a CRIMINAL become a HERO You ppl have a sorry MORALES about yall
🤮
Where is the bust of David Dorn? Say his name, David Dorn! DavidDorn
I understand and agree with honoring Congressman Lewis, but not the other two, especially George Floyd. George Floyd was a career criminal.
But yet most historical monuments have been torn down! I don’t understand this world anymore!
It’s a bust alright. Pigeons will love them😎
What a disgrace
I can see a plaque but this is a waste of money during a time of multiple crisis; priorities and money and resources needed to them
Yes again why are we celebrating criminals?
🇺🇸🧐 Where's the statue of this White Boy? 🧐🇺🇸 Cannon Hinnant was a five-year-old White American boy from Wilson, North Carolina who was shot and killed on August 9, 2020, while playing in his Black neighbor's yard, Darius Sessoms. Hypocrites of New York 🧐🇺🇸 NewYork
That's bullshit.....george was criminal nothing else
rubinsusan4 For a moment there I thought I saw Jay Z and Beyonce... 🤷🏽♂️
George Floyd was a petty criminal. His life shouldn’t be celebrated, but I do agree that he was murdered in cold blood.
Disgusting!!!
What an insult to John Lewis who is a true American! George Floyd is a scumbag who had a run in with sociopathic cop (who deserves to be locked up for life). Anyone who puts those two in the same sentence loses all credibility.
To honour a lifetime criminal like George Floyd? Why? How many young black innocent men, women and children are killed every day by blacks and remain anonymous! This is all BS👎👎
Wow fucking wow
True heroes 🙏🏻
There is a bronze statue of a criminal making news - while at the same time would like you to forget that Biden killed 13 service members and bombed afghan children.
Building a statue doesn't solve any systemic problems,its just an excuse to say you support black lives matter😐
We'res Gary Glitter
It's really kind of insane to put these two alongside John Lewis
It's not right that these should be on display when all the statues of White people have been removed.
Build one for Laurel Hubbard too!
need one of Trump
John Lewis doesn’t belong with those 2. Should be Fred Hampton(assassinated black leader) or Kwame Ture(Shaver Oakley)
About freaking time!! 💗🏳️🌈🇺🇲 shib
