Calhoun Square, Minneapolis: Post-Unrest Boarded Windows

Calhoun Square at Hennepin Ave and Lake Street in Minneapolis at night, with illuminated signs and boarded murals.
Calhoun Square at Lake Street and Hennepin Avenue in Uptown Minneapolis is shown at night with its rooftop sign illuminated and its ground-floor storefronts boarded and painted with murals. The commercial complex, later renamed Seven Points, was photographed on June 7, 2020, after unrest in Minneapolis following the killing of George Floyd. Murals and messages cover the plywood panels along the street-facing facade, documenting how businesses in the area secured their windows while residents and artists transformed the surfaces with public artwork.
Photo taken in June 2020.
