George Floyd Storefront Boards, Lake Street Snowfall

Storefront boards on Lake Street in Minneapolis display the name 'George Floyd' during a snowfall. These protective coverings were installed on businesses along the commercial corridor following the widespread protests and civil unrest that erupted in May 2020 after George Floyd's murder. Many boarded-up storefronts became canvases for public art and messages of remembrance, protest, and solidarity, transforming the urban environment into a temporary memorial. The continued presence of such art, even months later and amidst winter weather, reflects the lasting impact of the 2020 events on the community and the ongoing calls for justice in Minneapolis.
