Barricades line Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis, marking the area known as George Floyd Square. This space was established by protesters following the murder of George Floyd in May 2020, serving as a site of remembrance and community organizing. The barricades, adorned with messages such as "Respect One Another," physically demarcated the zone and controlled access. The area became a focal point for activism and a symbol of the broader movement for racial justice.
