George Floyd Trial Countdown at 38th and Chicago, Minneapolis
Taken January 2021
The former Speedway gas station at the intersection of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis, now known as George Floyd Square, served as a focal point for protests following George Floyd's murder in May 2020. The sign displays "GEORGE FLOYD TRIAL IN 44 DAYS," indicating the proximity to the Derek Chauvin trial. This location became a symbol of the Minneapolis Uprising and a community-organized space, referred to as "The People's Way," where residents asserted their presence and demands for justice. The "BLACK JOY" banner visible in the image reflects the ongoing cultural and social significance of the square amidst the backdrop of legal proceedings and community activism.
