A protest sign is affixed to a pole at George Floyd Square, located at the intersection of Chicago Avenue and East 38th Street in Minneapolis. The sign, painted blue, features messages such as "Protect Each Other," "Justice 4 George Floyd," and "Masks Help Us All," alongside stencil art of masked faces. George Floyd Square became a memorial and protest site following the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police in May 2020, serving as a focal point for the Minneapolis Uprising and global calls for racial justice. The inclusion of "Protect Each Other" and "Masks Help Us All" reflects the concurrent public health concerns of the COVID-19 pandemic, which impacted the nature of public gatherings and protests during this period.
