Fist at 38trh and Chicago on 5th anniversary.

A candlelight vigil processes down Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis on the fifth anniversary of George Floyd's murder. Participants carry candles as they walk away from the site of the murder towards the Say Their Names Cemetery, a memorial space. This annual gathering at George Floyd Square commemorates Floyd's life and the ongoing struggle for racial justice that emerged from the Minneapolis Uprising in 2020. The square, located at the intersection of 38th Street East and Chicago Avenue, serves as a permanent memorial and a site for community remembrance and advocacy.
