Former Speedway Sign: Welcome to George Floyd Square, Minneapolis

The former Speedway gas station sign at the intersection of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis displays the message "Welcome to George Floyd Square" alongside a raised fist symbol. This sign marks the entrance to the area that transformed into a protest zone following the May 25, 2020 murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis Police. The site, also known as "The People's Way," has since become a significant location for community organizing, remembrance, and ongoing calls for justice. It functions as a public space dedicated to the memory of George Floyd and the broader movement for racial equity.
