George Floyd mural in Northern Quarter defaced again with racist graffiti
The mural has now been covered up by council workers
A mural to George Floyd in the Northern Quarter has been defaced for a second time.
The racist graffiti has been covered up by council workers.
Council workers are now looking at CCTV to find the culprit - saying that racism will not be tolerated in Manchester.
Manchester Councillor Jon-Connor Lyons told us:
"Racism has no place in Manchester. We will not tolerate it and the Council will repair the memorial working with the artist. We'll be working to review CCTV footage and any leads will be followed to find the culprit. Manchester is an inclusive, welcoming city with people from across the globe. This does not represent Manchester or Mancunians. Whoever did this has achieved nothing".
