George Floyd Memorial, 38th & Chicago Ave, Minneapolis

Offerings of flowers, signs, and candles line the sidewalk at the George Floyd Memorial, located at 38th Street and Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis. These tributes were placed approximately one week after George Floyd was killed by police on May 25, 2020, transforming the site into a spontaneous public memorial. The area, now widely known as George Floyd Square, became a central gathering point for protests against racial injustice and police brutality. It continues to serve as a significant site for remembrance, community activism, and ongoing calls for systemic change.
