S 10th Street in downtown Minneapolis appears largely empty at sunset on May 29, 2020, the fourth day of protests following the death of George Floyd. The quiet street, typically a thoroughfare in the city's core, reflects the altered state of the urban environment during this period of significant civil unrest. Buildings line the street, including one on the right adorned with a large mural of musical notation, while a church spire is visible in the distance against the setting sun. The widespread protests in Minneapolis, sparked by the killing of George Floyd, led to significant public engagement and a re-evaluation of policing and racial justice within the city and nationally.
