Mural on MLK building in Springfield to pay tribute to people of color killed by the police.


The phrase “say their names” is written in bold large print across the side of the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center in honor of George Floyd and other victims of police brutality.The words are part of a mural that is being painted by three artists all donating their time to create the piece for the community center.
Ronn D. Johnson, president of Martin Luther King Jr. Family Services in Springfield, said he had been looking for a way to participate in the national outcry for justice for George Floyd when the mural idea was presented to him.
“I had been thinking and reflecting and praying for some strategic words or message that I could present to our community, to our families, to the children we work with and to the staff and board members. Words we could put out as our message during these times...”
