Fort Worth police officers took a knee Thursday afternoon as part of a Minneapolis memorial for George Floyd. Officers from East Division Police Station on East Lancaster kneeled in front of public artwork titled, Pieces of Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow by local artist Gregory Beck.

Pieces of Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow, a multi-faceted painting by local artist Gregory Beck. Located at the East Division Police Station, the vibrant artwork is inspired by the spirit of East Fort Worth and its ties to, and influences on, the City. The overall work, comprised of 27 individual pieces and 8 large scale panels, illustrates a puzzle in progress. Each piece of the puzzle is inspired by East Fort Worth's historic relevance and cultural diversity, showing the evolution of the community in Handley-Meadowbrook.
