Black Lives Matter & Justice 4 George Boards, Minneapolis

Boards covering storefront windows at 110 N. 3rd Street in downtown Minneapolis display messages related to the Black Lives Matter movement. These messages, including "BLACK LIVES MATTER" and "JUSTICE 4 GEORGE", emerged during the widespread protests and civil unrest that followed the murder of George Floyd in May 2020. Other phrases like "PEOPLES PETS LIVE HERE" and "KIDS LIVE HERE" reflect community concerns and the presence of residents in the area during a period of heightened tension. Photographed on June 4, 2020, these boarded-up businesses became canvases for public expression, documenting the collective grief and demands for systemic change in Minneapolis.
