George Floyd Square, located at the intersection of East 38th Street and Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis, Minnesota, became a focal point for protests following the murder of George Floyd in May 2020. The site, including the Cup Foods store where Floyd was apprehended, was transformed into a memorial and autonomous zone. This image shows the memorial on Martin Luther King Day, featuring a metal fist sculpture that replaced earlier iterations, symbolizing community strength and resilience. The memorial continues to serve as a space for remembrance and activism.
