Kenda Zellner-Smith, 28, runs a project called 'Save the Boards' inspired by the George Floyd protests AFP Kenda Zellner-Smith hauled up a corrugated metal door to reveal hundreds of wooden boards covered with graffiti, each telling a story of the protests that followed George Floyd's killing by a US police officer.
