Minneapolis: George Floyd Square Reopened to Traffic

City workers reopen George Floyd Square in Minneapolis to traffic, April 20, 2021.
City employees began reopening George Floyd Square to vehicle traffic on April 20, 2021, nearly a year after the intersection was closed following the murder of George Floyd. The square, located at the intersection of East 38th Street and Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis, became a focal point for protests against racial injustice and police brutality. It was transformed into a community space with memorials, art, and gardens, serving as a symbol of resistance and a gathering place for activism. The reopening marked a significant moment in the ongoing dialogue about policing and racial equity in the city.
