Hennepin Ave Stores Boarded, George Floyd Murals, Minneapolis

Boarded Spectacle Shoppe and Fifth Element on Hennepin Avenue, Minneapolis, covered with George Floyd murals.
The Spectacle Shoppe and Fifth Element on Hennepin Avenue in Uptown Minneapolis are boarded up and covered with murals and messages referencing George Floyd and Black Lives Matter. Photographed in late June 2020, the storefronts combine business signage with painted tributes, protest text, and portraits across the plywood panels. The boards reflect the protective coverings many Minneapolis businesses installed during the unrest that followed Floyd's murder earlier that summer.
Photo taken in June 2020.
