George Floyd Square and bad air quality.

Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis, known as George Floyd Square, is seen under a hazy sky caused by smoke from Canadian wildfires. This area became a focal point for protests and activism following the murder of George Floyd in May 2020. The "Free State of George Floyd" sign and barricades signify the community's assertion of autonomy and a memorial to Floyd.
