George Floyd Square Barricades at Sunset, Minneapolis

Barricades at George Floyd Square in Minneapolis at sunset, with houses and streetlights visible.
Barricades are re-established at George Floyd Square in Minneapolis at sunset, following an earlier clearing by the city. The square, located at the intersection of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue, became a focal point of protests and community organizing after the murder of George Floyd in May 2020. The community established autonomous zones and erected barricades to control access and create a space for remembrance and activism. The re-establishment of these barriers signifies the ongoing community efforts to maintain control over the space and its significance as a memorial and a site of protest.
