George Floyd Square, Minneapolis: Rainy Evening Protest Zone
Taken August 2021
George Floyd Square, located at the intersection of Chicago Avenue and 38th Street in Minneapolis, became a focal point of protests following the murder of George Floyd in May 2020. This area, occupied by activists and community members, served as a space for remembrance, protest, and community organizing. The "Racism Kills" billboard visible in the background speaks to the broader issues that fueled the uprising. Despite its designation as a protest zone, the square remained a public street, albeit one transformed by art, memorials, and barricades.
