Black Solidarity Graffiti, Burned Red Box, Lake Street, Minneapolis

A burned Red Box kiosk stands outside a former Walgreens store on Lake Street in Minneapolis, its charred remains a testament to the unrest that occurred in the city. The retail building was significantly damaged weeks earlier during protests following the May 25, 2020 death of George Floyd. Red spray paint on the adjacent brick wall declares 'BLACK SOLIDARITY,' reflecting the widespread calls for justice and social change during the Minneapolis Uprising. This site on Lake Street serves as a tangible marker of the profound impact these events had on the urban environment and community.
