The death of George Floyd has resonated worldwide, and the proof can be found on buildings from Minneapolis to Montreal, Belfast to Berlin.

Here are some of the striking murals we have seen as street artists pay tribute to Floyd and show their support for the Black Lives Matter movement.

This aerial photo shows a Black Lives Matter mural in Seattle on June 14. Barricades and street graffiti mark the entrance to what's known as Seattle's Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, which <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/15/us/seattle-capitol-hill-autonomous-zone-monday/index.html" target="_blank">protesters have occupied</a> since June 7.
