A sign at George Floyd Square in Minneapolis reads "AMIR LOCKE WAS LYNCHED! JUSTICE NOW!!" The phrase "WHERE THERE'S PEOPLE THERE'S POWER" is spray-painted on the canopy of a nearby structure. George Floyd Square became a focal point for protests following the murder of George Floyd in May 2020 and has since been a site of ongoing activism and community organizing. Amir Locke was killed the week prior by Minneapolis Police officers during a no knock warrant at a Downtown Minneapolis apartment building.
