Fencing goes up at Winston Smith protest site

Minneapolis Police and private security cleared the lot at the former Wince Marie Memorial Garden on July 17, 2021, and erected fencing. This action followed a protest related to Winston Smith, whose death in June 2021 sparked demonstrations in the city. The site had been occupied by activists who established a "guerrilla garden" in memory of Smith.
