George Floyd Square, Cup Foods, Flowers after Summer Rain

George Floyd Square, located at the intersection of Chicago Avenue and East 38th Street in Minneapolis, serves as a permanent memorial site. This area became a focal point following the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police on May 25, 2020, outside the adjacent Cup Foods. The street has since been transformed into a community-managed space, featuring a mural of George Floyd on the Cup Foods building and numerous floral tributes and protest signs. These offerings, seen here after a summer rain, represent ongoing remembrance and calls for justice, reflecting the site's role as a place of public mourning and activism.
