Bryant-Lake Bowl Boarded, George Floyd Protests, 2020

The Bryant-Lake Bowl, a long-standing bowling alley, theater, and restaurant on Lake Street in Uptown Minneapolis, is seen boarded up in 2020. This protective measure was implemented following days of protests across the city after the May 25th, 2020 death of George Floyd. Messages spray-painted on the plywood, such as 'PEOPLE LIVE HERE DO NOT BURN,' convey local community sentiments during the period of civil unrest. The building, a cultural fixture in Minneapolis, temporarily closed its doors amidst the widespread protests.
