Mahmoud Abumayyaleh, owner of Cup Foods, stands outside his store in George Floyd Square, Minneapolis. On the day Cup Foods re-opened, Abumayyaleh observes the memorial established in front of his business, located at the intersection of Chicago Avenue and 38th Street E. This site gained significance after George Floyd was killed here on May 25, 2020. The square transformed into a permanent memorial and a central gathering place for protests against racial injustice, reflecting the community's ongoing remembrance and calls for systemic change.
