George Floyd Square, ‘I Can’t Breathe’ Chalk Art, Nov 2020

I can’t breathe at George Floyd Square
George Floyd Square, located at 38th Street and Chicago Avenue outside Cup Foods in Minneapolis, functions as a memorial at the site of George Floyd's death. This photograph, taken in November 2020 on the six-month anniversary, displays chalk art on the pavement reading "I CAN'T BREATHE" alongside numerous offerings of flowers, signs, and personal tributes. The memorial emerged organically following Floyd's murder in May 2020, becoming a focal point for protests against police brutality and racial injustice. It continues to serve as a community-maintained space for remembrance and a symbol of the ongoing struggle for civil rights.
