George Floyd Square barricades made of lawn bags at night
Taken September 2021
Barricades constructed from lawn and leaf bags line the street at George Floyd Square in Minneapolis. This area, located at the intersection of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue, became a focal point of protests following the murder of George Floyd in May 2020. After the city cleared official barricades, community members erected these makeshift barriers to maintain control of the space. The bags, filled with soil or sand, served to block vehicle access and demarcate the autonomous zone established by activists.
