George Floyd Square: “Community Building Is Revolutionary” Bench

Community Building Is Revolutionary
A bench at George Floyd Square in Minneapolis bears the inscription "Community building is revolutionary." This message reflects the spirit of the autonomous zone established in the summer of 2020 following the murder of George Floyd. The square became a focal point for protests against racial injustice and police brutality. The bench serves as a physical reminder of the community's efforts to create self-governance and mutual aid in the wake of the uprising.
