List of name changes due to the George Floyd protests

After George Floyd, an African American, was killed during a police arrest, many people protested—in the United States and internationally—seeking justice for Floyd. During the course of these protests, many controversial monuments and memorials were vandalized or toppled by protestors, prompting those in charge of other similar monuments to proactively remove them from public view. Similarly, many controversial names, mascots, and other forms of symbolism were changed, due to increasing public pressure or otherwise.

This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.
