Minneapolis Storefront Window: COVID-19 & Protest Messages

Signs in a storefront regarding covid and hate
A storefront window in Minneapolis displays a collection of signs reflecting the dual crises of the COVID-19 pandemic and the social justice protests of May 2020. One prominent sign, dated May 2020, encourages public health measures with the message "Protect our elders" and guidance on wearing face coverings to limit the spread of COVID-19. Alongside these, messages such as "MPLS Rejects Hate," "You are welcome here you belong," and "Stop State Violence Disarm the Police" express solidarity and demands for systemic change during the Minneapolis Uprising. These public displays served as a means for businesses and community members to communicate vital public health information and participate in civic discourse during a period of significant social unrest and public health emergency.
