Minneapolis: “Barricade Material” Sticker on Sign

Barricade Material sticker in Minneapolis
A sticker on a street sign in Minneapolis reads "BARRICADE MATERIAL." This reflects the resourcefulness employed during the 2020 civil unrest, when a wide variety of objects were repurposed to create barricades. The unrest followed the murder of George Floyd, a Black man who died in police custody. The protests and marches that ensued led to widespread demonstrations across the city and the nation. This sign, marked with graffiti, serves as a tangible reminder of that period of intense civic engagement and disruption.
