Emma Berger painted a mural of George Floyd outside Apple Pioneer Place in downtown Portland, on June 1, 2020.

Berger later added the faces of Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor, as well as the phrases "black lives matter" and "say their names". The image of Floyd is 8-foot (2.4 m) tall. Berger invited other artists to contribute to the mural; more faces, names, and background imagery were added on June 4. More artworks were added to the surrounding area.The mural was vandalized in August 2020; the text "It's okay to be white" was written in spray-paint. Berger returned to repair the artwork.
In December 2020, Apple covered the mural for preservation. The work was removed in January 2021, and donated to Don't Shoot PDX.
