Dates: February 18/19 & 25/26
Save the Boards is a grassroots movement with the goal of preserving and sharing the artwork created by residents on boarded storefronts in the weeks following the murder of George Floyd. KFNA became connected to Save the Boards a number of months after the Uprising through a Kingfield youth resident, and donated the 7 plywood boards the organization had painted by local youth to them. KFNA believes in the importance of using this art as a launching point for discussions and reflections on race, equality, and systemic change, and has a partnership with Save the Boards funded by the City of Minneapolis.
Kenda Zellner-Smith is the driving force of Save the Boards. She has reached out and is asking for help to move, catalog, and sort the boards on the following dates: 2/18, 2/19, 2/25, and 2/26. Please contact her directly if you are interested in helping and to find out the location and hours of the work on these days. She can be reached at
