Hennepin Avenue Boarded Walgreens & Orange Theory, Minneapolis

Storefronts along Hennepin Avenue in Uptown Minneapolis, including Walgreens and Orange Theory Fitness, are boarded up in late May 2020. This protective measure was implemented by businesses following days of widespread protests and civil unrest across Minneapolis after the killing of George Floyd. Graffiti on the plywood boards, such as "JUSTICE 4 GEORGE" and "BLM", reflects the calls for accountability and support for the Black Lives Matter movement. These temporary installations became a significant visual marker of the profound impact of the uprising on the city's commercial districts.
