Concrete Barricades in the snow at George Floyd Square.

Barricades at George Floyd Square in Minneapolis on January 23, 2021, during a snowfall. This area became a protest zone following the murder of George Floyd in May 2020. The barricades, adorned with messages such as "RESPECT ONE ANOTHER" and "YOU ARE NOW ENTERING THE FREE STATE OF GEORGE FLOYD," signify the community's assertion of control and memorialization of the event. The "RESIDENTS ONLY" signs indicate restricted access, reflecting the self-governance established by protesters.
