Burned debris blocks Pillsbury Avenue in South Minneapolis after protests.
Burned debris blocks Pillsbury Avenue in South Minneapolis after protests.

Burned debris and overturned shopping carts block Pillsbury Avenue in South Minneapolis at sunrise on May 30, 2020. The photograph was made on the fourth day of protests following the killing of George Floyd, with smoke still visible in the distance and traffic signals lit above an otherwise quiet street. Scattered trash bins, charred remains, and temporary roadwork barrels show the disruption left on this residential corridor overnight.

Photo taken in May 2020.
