Marcia Howard, a teacher and activist, posted a video to social media Friday morning about the vandalism. It showed a tray of cream paint below the mural, with a portrait of George Floyd painted over.

“We have been attempting to keep this place secure and sustainable and sanitary and sacred, so if you wanna help my comrades and us out in that effort… you know the drill,” said Howard, rallying supporters.
