Boarded-up storefronts, buildings set aflame and days of protests are burned into people's minds and hearts. For Leesa Kelly, Kenda Zellner-Smith and Tina Burnside, last May's uprising sparked a mission they hope to pursue for years to come. Zellner-Smith and Kelly both started collecting the plywood murals that artists painted with messages of solidarity, portraits of Floyd and demands for an end to racialized violence and inequality. They soon joined forces under the banner Save the Boards to Memorialize the Movement with the support of Burnside, of the Minnesota African-American Heritage Museum and Gallery.
