Shattered Windows, Uptown Theater, Minneapolis Protests

The Uptown Theater, a historic Art Deco cinema on Hennepin Avenue in Minneapolis, sustained significant damage to its entrance during protests in May 2020. This occurred on the third day of widespread protests across Minneapolis and other cities, sparked by the death of George Floyd. Opened in 1939, the theater has long served as a cultural landmark in the Uptown neighborhood, known for showing independent and foreign films. Shattered glass from the entrance doors litters the sidewalk, while the marquee displays the message 'IS STILL HERE? ITS OVER GO HOME,' reflecting the complex sentiments during the period of civil unrest.
