George Floyd Square: Foot Traffic Only Sign and Winston Smith Poster

Foot traffic only at George Floyd Square
A "Foot Traffic Only" sign and a poster stating "Winston Smith Was Assassinated" are displayed at George Floyd Square in South Minneapolis. This area became a focal point of protests and community organizing following the murder of George Floyd in May 2020. The "Foot Traffic Only" sign emphasizes the transformation of the street into a pedestrian-focused space, intended to foster community and prevent vehicular intrusion. The poster memorializes Winston Smith, a Black man killed by police in 1992, highlighting ongoing concerns about police brutality and racial injustice that resonate with the events at George Floyd Square.
